Active clinical trials for "Neck Pain"

This study is a within-subjects design; therefore, the participant will serve as their own control. Participants will be included in the study if they have neck pain or disability defined by a score of more than 14 on the Neck Disability Index. They will be excluded if they have any diagnosed disc pathology. A mask-associated pain questionnaire will be completed by the participants prior to the study to determine their perceived effect of mask-wearing on neck pain. This questionnaire is adapted from the HAPPE study on mask-associated headache pain. A baseline pain rating will be recorded a numerical pain scale. Next, active cervical range of motion will be measured, three times in each direction to be averaged. A pain rating will be recorded for pain during cervical motion. Kinesio® Tape will be applied to activate the cervical extensor muscles. The participant will sit with the tape on for 20 minutes, then active cervical range of motion and pain will be recored again.

To compare the effectiveness of the cervicothoracic junction mobilization and eccentric muscle energy technique on mechanical cervical pain. To compare the effectiveness of the cervicothoracic junction mobilization and eccentric muscle energy technique on cervical disability. To compare the effectiveness of the cervicothoracic junction mobilization and eccentric muscle energy technique on cervical ROM.

The aim of this study is to reduce pain, increase range of motion, increase the endurance of deep cervical flexors muscles, and increase quality of life with mobile application in the treatment of patients with chronic neck pain. Although many benefits of exercises have been proven, the effectiveness, follow-up and continuity of exercise will be investigated with mobile application tracking.

The main aim of this study is to determine the effects of routine physical therapy with and without home-based exercise manual on pain and disability in patients of postural neck pain. To exceptional time, the effects and outcomes of home-based exercise manual for the patients with postural neck pain have not yet been explored. Due to the current Covid-19 pandemic and social isolation, most of the individuals with office based occupations are performing their duties from their homes, which has some negative impact on their neck biomechanics and leads to the postural neck pain, this study will not only enlighten the beneficial effects of home-based exercise manual for the patients of postural neck pain, to reduce the risk of disability and improve their quality of life, but it will also be cost effective for them.

The aim of this research is to analyze the effect of Mulligan technique versus stretching techniques and versus routine physical therapy on pain, range of motion and functional disability among restaurant chefs presenting with non-specific chronic pain.

Mechanical neck pain is posteriorly occurring non-specific pain that originates from the superior nuchal line and extends to the first thoracic vertebrae. It is exacerbated by sustained neck postures, neck movements or cervical muscle palpation. The aim of study will be to compare the effects of scapular stabilization versus thoracic spine extension exercises on pain, disability and range of motion in patients with mechanical neck pain.

To compare the effects of Thoracic manipulation and MET in relieving pain.in improving Range of motion and in improving functional disability.

Neck pain is a common ailment in the United States. Although there are several different treatments and approaches to help individuals with neck pain, the number affected by this condition has been steadily increasing. OMT has been shown to be helpful in the treatment of neck pain. In fact, the use of OMT has been shown to increase mobility of the myofascial tissues, visceral motion and decrease pain in patients with neck pain. Bio Electro-Magnetic Regulation (BEMER) Therapy is a therapeutic modality that deploys a biorhythmically defined stimulus through a Pulsed Electromagnetic Field (PEMF), which leads to an increase in blood flow. The positive effects of BEMER on the circulation has been shown to result in significant increases in arteriovenous oxygen difference, number of open capillaries, arteriolar and venular flow volume, and flow rate of red blood cells in the microvasculature. Therefore, BEMER can potentially be used in the treatment of neck pain by improving microcirculation in muscular tissue. Therefore, it is possible that the combination of OMT and BEMER therapy may provide additive effects in reducing neck pain. The purpose of this study is to investigate the individual and combined effects of OMT and BEMER therapy on neck pain in adults.

As Non specific chronic neck pain is effecting quality of life in many ways, there are many studies evaluating the methods to treat that problem. This study aims to determine Effect of first rib mobilization with balloon breathing exercises in non specific chronic neck pain. Patients would be divided into two groups and both received conventional treatment. Group A got conventional treatment only but Group B got 1st rib mobilization with balloon breathing exercises in addition.

Chronic neck pain (CNP) attributed to myofascial pain syndrome (MFPS) which is one of the particularly common skeletal muscle disorder associated with the hyperirritable zone in the taut band of muscle. Myofascial trigger points (MTrP) are one of the most overlooked and ignored causes of musculoskeletal pain. This study aims to compare the clinical efficacy of acupressure of cervical acupoints versus ischemic compression release (ICR) of MTrPs in CNP.
