Effectiveness of Massage of the Thoracic Region in Neck Pain

Status Recruiting

Clinical Trial Summary

Neck pain is a common disorder in industrialized countries. Manual therapy techniques have been commonly used in the treatment of this problem. Actually, there is no research work that has evaluated the work well of treatment with soft tissue techniques (massage) applied to the dorsal paravertebral muscle in the management of neck pain. The goal of this study (clinical trial) is to compare the efficacy of a massage protocol performed on the dorsal region in subjects with mechanical neck pain. The researchers will compare: A group that will be treated with a local protocol of cervical manual therapy and therapeutic exercise along with the treatment(massage) of the thoracic region. Another group that will be treated only with a local protocol of cervical manual therapy and therapeutic exercise. It is to see if the inclusion of treatment of the thoracic region improves the local intervention in cervical region.
