Clinical Trial Summary
the aim of this study is to investigate the effect of diclofenac phonophoresis versus high
power pain threshold ultrasound in patients with mechanical non-specific neck pain
Description:
Neck pain can be a long-lasting condition, Between half and three quarters of patients with
neck pain will experience recurrence within 1-5 years. Costs for the society due to neck pain
are consequently high. Neck pain (NP) is one of the common musculoskeletal problems. NP can
be caused by the stress over the musculoskeletal system due to postural disorders and may
also be associated with other causes such as intervertebral disc herniation, nerve
compression, or fracture. Musculoskeletal pain due to trigger points is one of the most
prevalent reasons for patients to seek treatment. The aim of physical therapy treatment in
patient with myofascial pain syndrome is to reduce the pain and restore normal function. Most
physical therapy treatments for MPS are targeted to the deactivation of MTrPs. Physical
therapy techniques include manual therapies; such as ischemic compression, spray and stretch,
strain and counter strain, muscle energy techniques, trigger point pressure release,
transverse friction massage; needling therapies, and other techniques such as thermotherapy,
ultrasound therapy , phonophoresis and laser therapy.Due to the semi-solid properties, a
special method is needed for transdermal permeation of lidocaine. Therefore, many studies
have focused on enhancing the level of transdermal permeation by either changing the
physiochemical properties of lidocaine or using physical modalities In particular, there has
been considerable interest in transdermal permeation using various methods based on the idea
that the amount and depth of transdermal permeation can be increased using various physical
modalities. patients with mechanical neck pain will be allocated randomly into three equal
groups; group A will receive phonophoresis and traditional therapy, group B will receive high
power pain thresholdand traditional therapy and group C will receive traditional therapy
