Filter by:Mobilisation with movement (Mulligan Sustained Natural Apophyseal Glides (SNAG)). method has been shown to have significant effects on pain, joint range of motion, and functionality in patients with neck pain. However, there is a lack of studies examining the effects of this technique on muscle stiffness associated with neck pain. Considering the immediate effects of a single session of lumbar SNAG application on lumbar muscle stiffness in patients with low back pain, it raises curiosity about the effects it would have on cervical spinal segments and surrounding muscles. The aim of this study is to investigate the immediate effects of Mulligan SNAG application on muscle stiffness, pain, and joint range of motion in patients with mechanical neck pain.
This research focuses on adding diaphragmatic breathing to conventional physiotherapy sessions, particularly for patients suffering from chronic neck pain aged between 20-40 years in Jordan. Chronic neck pain is recognized as one of the most prevalent musculoskeletal pain disorders, significantly impacting physical, social, and psychological aspects of life. This issue leads to a decline in functional performance and work productivity, negatively affecting both individual and societal levels. Several factors, such as poor posture and prolonged use of smartphones, contribute to the exacerbation of non-specific chronic neck pain. These problems also affect respiratory muscles, particularly the diaphragm responsible for primary respiration, resulting in a shift from abdominal to chest breathing. This alteration increases the use of neck muscles, subsequently intensifying neck pain and negatively impacting sleep quality in these individuals. The primary objective of this therapeutic study is to investigate the role of adding diaphragmatic breathing to physiotherapy sessions in alleviating pain and improving sleep quality. RCT study will investigate the effect of adding the diaphragmatic breathing to conventional physiotherapy treatment on pain and sleep quality over one month.
Chronic neck pain is a musculoskeletal disorder that affects people frequently in life. Nov. Postural control is based on the process of correctly identifying and selectively focusing the incoming afferent input of the Central Nervous System (CNS). The main treatment options for people with neck pain include soft tissue and joint mobilizations, stabilization exercises for the neck, trunk and shoulder muscles, cervical Deckings, relaxation training, strengthening exercises and body awareness and posture training Nov. In this study, it was aimed to investigate the effects of myofascial relaxation on balance, pain, joint range of motion and functionality in individuals with chronic neck pain by dividing them into two groups in the form of core stabilization and core stabilization and myofascial relaxation. The study included 45 people between the ages of 18 and 65 Dec. In two groups, the core stabilization group will be 22 people, and the core stabilization and myofascial relaxation group will be 23 people. The study period is planned as 6 weeks and 3 sessions per week.
The overall objective of this study is to determine the efficacy of a physical therapy intervention based on manual therapy, therapeutic exercise and application of electrotherapy in healthcare workers with non-specific neck pain.
To determine how vitals (heart rate, blood pressure, respiratory rate, oxygen saturation) and craniovertebral angle will be affected by thoracic SNAGs in individuals with forward head posture.
The goal of this [type of study: Randomized control trial] is to [ compare the effectiveness of Mulligan and McKenzie Exercises along with stabilization exercises on pain, range of motion and disability ] in [ in patients with chronic neck pain].The main question it aims to answer is: - Wether Mulligan is more effective or Mckenzie exercises along with stabilization exercises in the treatment of patients with chronic neck pain Group 1 will recieve Mulligan and stabilization exercises Group 2 will recieve Mckenzie and stabilization exercises
The broad long-term objective is to develop an objective biomarker for spinal health based on aberrant or abnormal movement patterns during functional activities to better target spinal manipulation therapy (SMT) and other conservative treatments. The central hypotheses are a) that aberrant spinal motions and their location (area and level) are indicative of underlying spinal dysfunction, and b) that quantified 3D cervical spine intersegmental and global motion patterns during functional tasks can be used as a biomarker for subsequent clinical studies aimed at normalizing cervical kinematics. Specific Aim: Determine the extent to which SMT can modulate, or normalize, intersegmental motion in patients with neck pain. Rationale: SMT is a force-based biomechanical event whose hypothesized mechanism of action relies on moving the segment into the para-physiological zone, resulting in normalization of spinal kinematic function. Hypothesis: Severity of abnormal or aberrant motion, identified in those with NP, will improve following SMT. Approach: Participants with chronic mechanical neck pain will be recruited and randomized into one of three groups: 1) No Treatment, 2) Light Massage (pseudo- sham), and 3) Spinal Manipulative Therapy. Using a repeated measures study design, metrics of quality of spinal motion will be compared before and after the prescribed intervention.
Design: This study is a pilot randomized controlled trial (RCT) with two-arm parallel groups, the gold standard for determining treatment efficacy. The flowchart (see appendix) provides an overview of the study design. Participants are randomized and stratified by age into intervention group and waiting list group. The intervention is teletherapy-supported muscular training for 20 minutes 4 times a week. The duration of the intervention is six weeks in total. At the beginning Neck Disability Index (NDI), Oswestry Disability Index (ODI), Short-Form-36 (SF36), and the Numerical rating Scale (NRS) are collected. After six weeks, the same outcome measures and the global rating scale
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare the effects of two spinal manipulations in adults between the ages of 18-65 based on the results of a non-invasive clinical test. The main question it aims to answer is: • Does matched or unmatched region of manipulation based on the CTDT result in greater reduction of pain levels and improvement in range of motion in adults with neck pain compared to unmatched manipulations? Participants will be asked to: - rate their pain with neck movement, complete brief questionnaires about their pain, - have their neck range of motion measured, - perform a test known as the cervico-thoracic differentiation test (CTDT), - receive either a cervical or thoracic manipulation, - repeat the range of motion measurements. - A second session will occur 7-10 days later where questionnaires and range of motion measures will be repeated. Researchers will compare the effects of manipulation matched to CTDT test result to individuals in the unmatched CTDT manipulation group to see if the CTDT may indicate which region will provide a greater treatment effect for individuals with neck pain.
The effects of passive music listening on pain, anxiety and quality of life in patients with chronic neck pain in addition to physical therapy will be examined.
