Filter by:The purpose of this randomized controlled study is to determine the effectiveness of cupping massage as home use for patients with chronic nonspecific neck pain compared to relaxation exercise.
This randomised controlled trial aims to compare the effect of microwave diathermy (continuous and pulsed modes) with sham microwave diathermy in nonspecific chronic neck pain patients. Every patient will also be treated by exercise and transcutaneous electrical neurostimulation (TENS). The primary endpoint is to establish whether the use of microwaves is justified in terms of pain relief or reduction of disability in this patients.
The purpose of this study is to test whether a physiotherapy intervention containing pain management, general training and specific neck exercises can improve function for patients with chronic neck pain.
The purpose of this clinical trial is to evaluate the effect of an intracervical lidocaine injection versus topical lidocaine gel on the pain experienced by patients undergoing tenaculum application to the cervix during office gynecologic procedures. This study will also evaluate how satisfied women are with the method of pain control used. The researchers hypothesize that: 1. There is less pain perceived by patients undergoing placement of a tenaculum on the cervix when a lidocaine injection is used compared to a topical lidocaine gel. 2. Patients are more satisfied with pain control during the overall experience of undergoing tenaculum placement on the cervix when a lidocaine injection is used compared to a topical lidocaine gel.
The study includes back pain of the cervical, thoracic, and the lumbar regions.
This study will focus on the efficacy of treating 80 patients who have functional limitations in activity because of chronic/recurrent neck or shoulder pain. Hypothesis 1: InterX therapy alone will have a moderate effect to reduce pain during weeks 1-2. Hypothesis 2: Functional gains will be greater in patients receiving InterX therapy compared to those who received placebo treatment. Hypothesis 3: Chronic neck and shoulder pain is more prevalent in patients who exhibit radiographic evidence of degenerative spondylosis/arthrosis of the cervical spine.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of diclofenac 1.16% gel compared with placebo applied four times a day in subjects with acute neck pain.
Neck pain continues to be a prevalent condition in our society. Manual therapy (hands on techniques for the treatment of neck pain is an intervention commonly implemented in clinical practice. Recently researchers and clinicians have implemented manual therapy techniques to the thoracic spine (midback) to treat patients with neck pain. To date no studies have examined the short-term combined effects of thoracic spine manual therapy and cervical spine manual therapy in the treatment of patients with mechanical neck pain. The purpose this study is to assess the combined effects of thoracic spine thrust manipulation with cervical spine non-thrust manipulation in patients with neck pain.
To investigate the effect of cervical manual mobilization on head repositioning accuracy and postural balance in patients with chronic mechanical neck pain in a randomized controlled trial. Hypothesis: There is no difference between the intervention group (manual mobilization) and control group head repositioning accuracy and postural balance.
Chronic neck pain is a common worldwide problem. In the majority of cases, patients are treated by medication, referral to a physiotherapist or thermotherapy. Thermotherapy - the therapeutic application of topical heat - provides an easy to apply self-help strategy in patients with chronic neck pain. However, despite the frequent use in clinical practice, there is no research regarding this topic yet. The aim of this study was to evaluate whether thermotherapy self-treatment for chronic neck pain induces changes in perceived pain intensity and in sensory processing.
