Filter by:The aim of the present study is to value the effectiveness of an Eye-Cervical Re-education Program (ECRP) to decrease pain and increase mobility in the cervical area compared to a Combined Physiotherapy Protocol (CPP) in patients with chronic neck pain symptoms.
The purpose of this study is to assess the benefit of adding stretching exercises to cervical mobilization and cervical range of motion exercises on cervical range of motion, pain, pain threshold, level of disability and patient satisfaction for patient with non-specific mechanical neck pain
This study aims to compare the immediate effects of using a single thoracic manipulation combined with special massage technique (RT technique) and single thoracic manipulation alone on pain level at rest, cervical range of motion, upper limb neurodynamic test, neck disability, and adverse effects in chronic mechanical neck pain patients.
This study evaluates the effect of high-velocity low-amplitude thrust (HVLAT) manipulation to the cervical spine on neuropeptide expression as determined by the plasma concentration of oxytocin, neurotensin, orexin A and cortisol; and Examine the effect of HVLAT manipulation on pain perception in symptomatic females with non-specific mechanical cervical spine pain
This is a cluster randomized trial that involves training regions of physical therapy clinics to use pain neuroscience education or continue with usual care. The investigators will examine outcomes for patients with chronic neck or back pain.
This randomized controlled with cross-over trial aims to investigate the efficacy of a cervical pillow (the "Viscospring PostuRite" made by SOFF-ART S.r.l. Via Maestri del Lavoro 49 - 05100 Terni, Italy) versus education in non-specific chronic neck pain. More specifically, effectiveness will be measured using the following outcome measures: pain, disability, sleep quality, cervical pillow satisfaction, and global perception of the treatment effectiveness.
The RAND approach to appropriateness makes it feasible to take the best of what is known from research and apply it—using the expertise of experienced clinicians—over the wide range of patients and presentations seen in real-world clinical practice. The major limitation of the RAND approach, however, is that it still utilizes a limited definition of appropriateness; one that relies heavily on safety, efficacy and effectiveness. Until now the RAND method has not included patient preferences or resource utilization effectiveness. These are both serious absences. In the past decade we have seen an evolution in outcome measures from clinician based objective measures to patient-centered and subjective measures. The development of Patient Based Outcome Assessments (PBOA); Patient Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) and the recent establishment of Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute (PCORI) all contest to the growing importance of the patient's perspective in determining outcomes and therefore also appropriateness. In the Center, we propose to advance appropriateness methods by adding three additional dimensions to the RAND appropriateness methods: patient outcomes, patient preferences and cost
The purpose of this project is to determine the effect of a multimodal non-pharmacological Pain Relief Kit on the pain, functioning, patient satisfaction, and opioid consumption of individuals suffering from an acute pain episode of chronic neck and/or low back pain over a 3-week duration.
The purpose of this study to compare the effect of Biofreeze® versus a Placebo on neck pain, disability, fear avoidance, and range of motion prior to and following cervical manipulation over the course of one week among patients with acute neck pain.
The aim of this study is to compare the clinical effects of spinal mobilization versus vertebral resonant oscillation (POLD) in patients with bilateral mechanical neck pain on pain sensitivity and neck pain intensity.
