Clinical Trial Summary

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.

Description:

The clinical practice guidelines for manual therapy management the neck pain including the spine mobilization.

The vertebral resonant oscillation using the POLD method is similar to spine mobilizations, but there are some differens; the oscillatory movement has a sinusoidal waveform, the frequency used between 1.2 and 2 Hz and the amplitude is similar to "neutral zone" to described by Panjabi 1992.

The spinal mobilizations has a posterior-anterior vertebral movement for spinous process, described by Maitland 2000.

Intervention

Other:
• Spine Mobilizations
Patients receive spinal mobilizations in grades II to III of central posterior-anterior from cervical and thoracic spine as described Maitland in 2000
• Vertebral Resonant Oscillation
The vertebral resonant oscillation using the POLD method is similar to spine mobilizations, but there are some differens ; the oscillatory movement has a sinusoidal waveform, the frequency used between 1.2 and 2 Hz and the amplitude is similar to "neutral zone" to described by Panjabi 1992.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Changes in pain intensity before and after the intervention	A 10-point Numerical Pain Rating Scale (NPRS; 0: no pain, 10: maximum pain) will be used to assess the patients' current level of neck pain	Baseline, one week after the last session, 1 months and 3 months after the last session.
Secondary	Changes in disability before and after the intervention	Neck Pain Disability Index (NDI)	Baseline, one week after the last session, 1 months and 3 months after the last session.
