Filter by:The focus of this project is on developing and optimizing community-based programs for the self-management of back or neck pain for individuals from populations that experience health disparities (BP-PEHD). Community-engaged research approach will be used to conduct quality improvement activities that involves gathering feedback from multiple stakeholders to inform development of the study interventions and materials which will be followed by a randomized pilot study to evaluate feasibility.

The aim of the study is to determine the effect of muscle energy technique versus myofascial release on cervical and lumbar pain in premenopausal women with fibromyalgia
In this study, we aimed to determine the effects of heat therapies and neck stabilization exercises on pain, disability, range of motion, and mood of NP patients.
This randomized controlled trial was performed in MMRC (Majestic medicine rehabilitation Sciences) Islamabad in February 2023 and consisted of patients having neck pain and forward head posture. 30 Patients were divided into two groups of 15 each by sealed envelope method . Treatment group was given weight bearing thrust manipulation in sitting and control was given non weight bearing thrust manipulation in supine lying. Pain was calculated through NPRS and Cervical ranges were calculated by Inclinometer before and immediately after treatment.
Local used high molecular weight Hyaluronan (HA) with high viscosity has a variety of receptors in the human body, including CD44, LYVE-1, RHAMM, HARE, Siglec-9, TLR2, CEMIP and TMEM2. Intra-articular local injection of HA has a certain degree of analgesic effect. Local injection of HA into the nerve trunk directed by ultrasound was used for the treatment of neuropathic pain. It was reported that the analgesic effect of HA is regulated by TRPV1 ion channels. This study hypothesizes that hyaluronidase cleaves HA to generate low molecular weight HA fragments HA35 with good tissue permeability, which may bind to a variety of HA receptors on the cell surface within the tissues and produce a broad-spectrum analgesic effect. In this study, 35kDa Hyaluronan fragment HA35 was prepared by mixing hyaluronidase PH20 injection and high molecular weight Hyaluronan (HA) injection at room temperature for 20 minutes. In this study, hyaluronidase injection and Hyaluronan injection were off-label used to conduct an investigator-initiated study (IIT or IIS) for the treatment of herpes zoster and shoulder, neck, back and temporal pain.
Non-specific cronic low back pain is very common condition affecting 30-50% of adults. It is featured by neck muscles contractures which lead to pain and reduction of cervical spine mobility. High intensity laser therapy has been shown to be an effective treatment to improve symothoms in patient with non-specific neck pain. The aim of this study is to assess the effects of a multi-wave locked system laser therapy in patient with non-specif neck pain.
Neck pain is one of the leading causes of disability worldwide and ranks fourth among the pathologies that result in disability. Although neck pain can be attributed to traumatic or inflammatory disorders, the majority of neck pain has no discernible cause and is considered idiopathic. Neck pain that lasts longer than 3 months takes the form of chronic neck pain. Some problems such as changes in muscle behavior and decrease in proprioceptive sensory input are observed in individuals with chronic neck pain. The presence of such problems, especially the dysfunction of the deep cervical muscles and the inability of the proprioceptors to provide motor control, cause the position sense to be impaired in these individuals and the awareness of the neck of the individuals decreases. The Left Right Judgment Task (LRJT) is a form of implicit motor imagery that involves determining as accurately and quickly as possible whether an image of a body part belongs to the left or right side. LRJT performance differences have been hypothesized to reflect changes in central nervous system functioning, errors in judgment, and changes in bodily representations. It has been shown that LRJT is a complex mental task that includes cognitive, sensory, motor and behavioral processes and can be associated with them. Recent studies have revealed that neck pain causes proprioceptive disorder and that proprioceptive training should be done in these individuals. A study showed that there is a strong correlation between biasedness judgment accuracy and proprioception. In this context, the investigators aimed to investigate the knowledge about the effect of individuals with neck pain on proprioception, cortical body diagram and pain.
As Non specific chronic neck pain is effecting quality of life in many ways, there are many studies evaluating the methods to treat that problem. This study aims to determine Effect of first rib mobilization with balloon breathing exercises in non specific chronic neck pain. Patients would be divided into two groups and both received conventional treatment. Group A got conventional treatment only but Group B got 1st rib mobilization with balloon breathing exercises in addition.
Turtle neck also known as Text neck or anterior head syndrome is an overuse syndrome which occurs due to repetitive stress to neck, either by hanging it down or forward using phone or electronic devices. Typical signs and symptoms include pain and stiffness in the neck, shoulder pain and increase curvature of spine. It is becoming a global burden as people of almost all ages are getting affected. The objective of the study is to find out theEffect of Exercise among Turtle Neck Syndrome in Pakistani Population. A total of 100 participants will be included in the study having both males and females. The pain pattern will be assessed by Visual Analog Scale and Posture Grid Assessment tool will be used to assess posture before and after the treatment session. The study will be divided into three main sections or groups. One group will be treated by myofascial release only while other group will be treated by muscle energy technique for the management of turtle neck syndrome. Third group will receive both MFP and MET exercise. People having neck pain and those who will be willing to participate will be included in the study.
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare between applying deep dry needling and muscle energy technique in chronic non-specific neck pain patients. Researchers will compare between deep dry needling group, muscle energy technique group and control group to see if there are change in pain, range of motion or function.
