Filter by:The present study aims to evaluate the differences that may be experienced in pain and cervical disability, before, during and just after the intervention of the Deep Dry Needling in the upper trapezius muscle in active, passive myofascial trigger points (MTP) or non-MTP in Patients with neck pain, assessing, in turn, the neurophysiological effects on the Autonomic Nervous System. Hypothesis: Deep Dry Needling of active myofascial trigger points produces a greater decrease of pain and cervical disability index and increase of pressure pain threshold; Than the Deep Dry Needling of Myofascial Trigger Points latent or out of Myofascial Trigger Points in patients with chronic neck pain. Objective: To determine the efficacy of Deep Dry Needling applied on Active Myofascial Triggers (MTP) vs. latent MTP versus MTP, on pain reduction and cervical disability, in patients with chronic neck pain attributable to Myofascial Pain Syndrome.
This study will compare the effect of dry needling on the active trigger point on sternocleidomastoid versus the effect of dry needling at 1.5 centimeters of active trigger point on sternocleidomastoid, both combined with ischemic compression, on cervical pain and cervical motor control short and medium term.
Nonspecific neck pain (NSNP) is one of the most common musculoskeletal problems treated by orthopaedic physicians and physiotherapists . NSNP has an annual incidence rate of 38 to 73% and a lifetime prevalence of approximately 48%, leading to both economic and social problems.
This study aimed to investigate the effect of chronic neck pain on sleep quality and to determine the factors that may be related to sleep disturbance.
A multi-center randomized controlled trial assessing the comparative effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of Chuna manual therapy for chronic neck pain
A double-blind, randomized, and placebo-controlled clinical study examining whether duloxetine, a serotonin and norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor (SNRI), could enhance opioid analgesia and reduce overall opioid use. Positive outcomes will help improve the overall effectiveness of clinical opioid therapy and reduce unnecessary opioid dose escalation.
An experimental study will be conducted to evaluate the effect of a single dry needling session, compared to a sham needling session, on surface EMG activity (signal amplitude and frequency) and pain of the upper trapezius muscle, in office workers with trapezius myalgia.
The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of diaphragm's manual therapy in addition to cervical spine manual therapy in terms of pain, cervical spine range of motion, trigger points pain pressure threshold, disability and quality of life in patient with chronic aspecific neck pain.
Introduction: Neck pain is among the most common and costly for industrialized societies. It is difficult to know the exact structure causing the pain so most are considered as non-specific neck pain. There is a correlation between the alteration of craneocervical proprioception and neck pain. The evidence for treatment with proprioceptive exercises is very limited. Objective: To know the efficacy of a proprioceptive exercise program for neck pain and to compare its effects with a cervical mobility program. Materials and Methods: Subjects between 18-65 years old with non-traumatic neck pain are included. They will be randomized into two groups of exercises: proprioception or mobility, which will be developed over a period of two weeks, every day, with a total of 10 sessions per patient.
Myofascial pain is an important cause of neck pain or neck and shoulder pain. Neck shoulder pain is a common socioeconomic problem that negatively affects the quality of life. Different treatment strategies with limited effectiveness or application have been implemented. However, medication remains a widely used approach. The levator scapulae is one of the muscles involved in myofascial pain leading to levator scapulae syndrome. The muscle limits the rotation of the neck. It is innervated by branches of the third and fourth cervical nerves through the cervical plexus. Hence, performing superficial cervical plexus block may have some potential effect in reducing myofascial pain.
