Abstract\sBackground Physical therapists frequently utilize dry needling (DN), which focuses on trigger points and non-trigger point structures, to treat mechanical neck pain (MNP). It is an invasive procedure that involves inserting solid fiber needles into myofascial trigger points or hyperirritable nodules that are painful to the touch. This procedure can affect the motor and autonomic neurons and relieve pain. Objectives examining the short-term effects of dry needling in combination with a standardized exercise program on pain and quality of life in chronic mechanical neck pain Methods The allocation of 18 participants to the DN or Exercise intervention groups will be done at random. Before the exam, the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), Neck Disability Index (NDI), Short Form-36 Quality of Life Scale, and Numerical Rating Scale (NPS-11) will be evaluated. Analytical Statistics For the statistical analysis of the data, SPSS 23.0 will be employed. The "Kolmogorov-Smirnov test" will be used to determine whether the data are distributed normally. The effectiveness of each intervention will be determined using a paired t test, and between-group comparisons will be made using an independent t test. The distribution of categorical variables will be compared using a chi-square test. A 95% confidence interval and p0.05 will be used to determine significance. Key words: mechanical neck pain, dry needling, neck exercises, and quality of life.

Type | Measure | Description | Time frame | Safety issue |
---|---|---|---|---|
Primary | Numeric pain rating scale | used to assess the intensity of the pain , the NPS ranges between 0 and 10 (0: minimum pain, 10: maximum pain). | 2 times From admission to discharge, up to 2 week (pre first intervention and post last intervention) | |
Primary | "Short Form-36 Quality of Life Scale (SF-36 QOLS) | for assessing the physical functions of the body through analysis of body pain, physical role difficulties (PRD), vitality/energy, the general perception of health, social functions and mental health. The sub-scores will be calculated separately between 0 and 100 (0: the worst, 100: the best health status) | 2 times From admission to discharge, up to 2 week (pre first intervention and post last intervention) | |
Primary | Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) | To assess patient depression,The total score of BDI were evaluated between 0 and 63. BDI scores near to high range or above than that indicate more severe forms of depression | 2 times From admission to discharge, up to 2 week (pre first intervention and post last intervention) | |
Primary | The functional disability, Neck Disability Index (NDI) | has been designed to assess the pain intensity of the neck and how it affects the quality of life by affecting daily activities. The total NDI score is 0 and 54 and consists of 10 questions.(less score less disability) | 2 times From admission to discharge, up to 2 week (pre first intervention and post last intervention) |
