View clinical trials related to Nonspecific Neck Pain.
Filter by:Non-specific neck pain (NSNP) is defined as pain not associated with neurological and specific pathologies in the posterior and lateral part of the neck between the superior nuchal line and the first thoracic vertebra. Many conservative treatment modalities including different exercise techniques are used in the treatment of NSNP. Therefore, the aim of our study was to investigate the effect of these techniques.
Spinal instability diseases have a high prevalence and great harm. The research on how to prevent and treat degenerative spinal instability diseases has become a hot spot in the international academic community, and it is also an important research content in the field of "population and health" in my country. Clinical studies have shown that the "Shi-style manipulations" have outstanding efficacy and high safety in the treatment of degenerative spinal instability diseases. The study intends to carry out a randomized, traction-controlled study in 5 tertiary hospital test centers, with patients with non-specific neck pain as the research object, using "Shi-style manipulations" and traction as intervention methods, and checking indicators and subjective effects through relevant instruments Indicators, quantitative verification of the mechanical parameters and biological effects of the "Shi-style manipulations", scientific evaluation of the efficacy and safety of the "Shi-style manipulations" in non-specific neck pain diseases.
This study investigate the short term effect of Maitland in comparison to Mulligan mobilization with sub-acute and chronic non specific neck pain to improve neck pain, pain pressure threshold, rang of motion, joint position sense, disability, and to evaluate the interaction with psychological factors. Study design: experimental study
The aim of the proposed study is to evaluate the immediate effect of acupuncture on pain, cervical range of motion and electromyographic activity of the upper trapezius muscle in patients with nonspecific neck pain.Twelve patients with nonspecific neck pain and 12 healthy subjects will be enrolled in a randomized, single-blind, crossover study. Each patient will receive two forms of treatment in random order: a single session of traditional acupuncture and sham acupuncture. To eliminate carry-over treatment effects, a one-week wash-out period will be respected between sessions. Surface electromyography will be used to determine motor control in the upper trapezius muscle before and after treatment. The outcome measures in the group with neck pain will be a numerical pain rating scale (range: 0 [no pain] to 10 [maximum pain]), documentation of the pain area on a body chart and cervical range of motion. Linear regression analysis will be applied for each individual to investigate associations between the sEMG variables and force (excluding the sixth step). The slopes of the regression lines will be used to measure the sensitivity of the sEMG variables regarding changes in force. The Shapiro-Wilk test will be used to test the normality of the data distribution regarding RMS and MDF values in the third and sixth step of the step contraction. Paired samples (Student's t-test or Wilcoxon test) will be used to test differences between third and sixth contraction step. A mixed linear model will be used to analyze and compare the sEMG data during sustained contraction (five steps) between pre-acupuncture (EMG-1) and post-acupuncture (EMG-2) evaluations. These comparisons will demonstrate whether acupoints TE-5 and LI-11 affect the activity of the upper trapezius muscle, as hypothesized. The pain (NRS, PPT and area) and cervical ROM data collected during the four evaluations will also be compared using a mixed linear model. The Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS, version 19.0 for Windows) will be employed for the statistical analysis, with the level of significance set to 5% (p < 0.05).
