Clinical Trial Summary

this study will be conducted to compare the effect of Acupoint focused ultrasound and Laser puncture on pain intensity level, neck range of motion, and neck function in patient with chronic mechanical neck pain


Clinical Trial Description

Neck pain is a musculoskeletal condition with a high prevalence that may affect the physical, social, and psychological aspects of the individual, contributing to the increase in costs in society and business. Neck pain was significantly associated with repetitive movement, activities that require lifting and moving loads, and being in sitting and leaning positions.Non specific neck pain is a multifactorial and very common condition in adult individuals, traditional acupuncture (TA) and laser puncture (LP) may be treatment options for certain individuals in such a condition. The laser will be placed at the specific acupuncture points: Tianzhu, Fengchi, Jianjing, and Jianzhongshu . Because ultrasound can deliver vibration energy to soft tissues noninvasively, ultrasound has been applied to diagnostic imaging and therapeutic applications. To use ultrasound for acupoint stimulation, a stimulation device was developed using focused ultrasound. The application of an ultrasound stimulus to the acupuncture meridian system has been found safe and effective in many common clinical entities. The Sonicator head is applied to the chosen location as in standard ultrasound therapy, with a gentle circular motion. forty five patients will be assigned randomly to three groups; experimental group 1 will receive acupoint focused ultrasound, experimental group 2 will receive laserpuncture and the control group will receive conventional treatment three times a week for four weeks. ;
