NCT ID: NCT05000177 Completed - Clinical trials for Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation

Alterations in Central Control of Shoulder Muscles in Office Workers With Non-specific Chronic Neck Pain

Start date: December 21, 2021
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Non-specific chronic neck pain (NCNP) is commonly seen in office workers. Individuals with NCNP not only demonstrate impaired neck movement control and muscle activation, but also show abnormal scapular kinematics and muscle activation timing. Office workers with NCNP also show higher activity of upper trapezius during computer typing and have difficulty relaxing upper trapezius after typing. These changes related to scapula may increase strain over neck. In addition to the altered neuromuscular control, recent studies found neuroplasticity changes in the central nervous system on patients of chronic musculoskeletal disorders. Therefore, few studies found shifts and alterations of motor cortex representation of neck muscles in individuals with NCNP, which was correlated with delayed muscle activation of deep neck flexors muscle in functional activities. However, no studies have explored that whether this corticospinal adaptation also happens over scapular muscles, especially after a computer typing task. The objectives of this proposal are to investigate the differences in corticospinal and neuromuscular control of shoulder complex between office workers with and without NCNP. Thirty-five individuals with NCNP and 35 healthy controls will be recruited. Twenty young healthy subjects will be also recruited for a pilot study to test the reliability of all the measures. Scapular kinematics and muscle activation will be tested during arm elevation. Corticospinal parameters of trapezius and serratus anterior will be tested with transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), including active motor threshold, motor evoked potential, cortical silent period, short interval intracortical facilitation, short interval intracortical inhibition and cortical mapping. Corticospinal parameters, except cortical mapping, will be measured again after a 30-minute computer typing task. Scapular muscle activation will be also recorded during the typing task.

NCT ID: NCT04198675 Completed - Office Workers Clinical Trials

Effects of Preventive Physiotherapy Practices on Posture and Work-Related Functions in Office Workers

Start date: August 26, 2019
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

In this study; aimed to determine an individual-centered, effective physiotherapy method to reduce the negative impacts of the forward head posture on work-related functions and to increase body awareness and functionality among office workers. In addition, aimed to reduce the loss of work with measures to improve the quality and efficiency of work.

NCT ID: NCT03678623 Completed - Clinical trials for Musculoskeletal Pain

The Impact of Prolonged Standing on Musculoskeletal Pain

Start date: April 23, 2018
Phase:
Study type: Observational

This is a cross-sectional and prospective cohort study using a biopsychosocial approach to investigate office workers at risk of standing-induced musculoskeletal pain. The purpose of this study is to determine which factors are associated with developing or worsening of musculoskeletal pain (changes in the Visual Analogue Scale from baseline) during a 60 minute standing paradigm.

NCT ID: NCT01787643 Completed - Office Workers Clinical Trials

Standing Behavior After Installation of Height-Adjustable Desks

Start date: January 2013
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The purpose of this research study is to determine whether height-adjustable desks change sitting and standing time at work and away from work, engery expenditure, dietary intake, and body composition. Intermittent peroids of standing made possible by height-adjustable desks may help to impart long-term health benefits.
