Central Sensitization in Patients Seeking Outpatient Physical Therapy Services
Low Back PainKnee Osteoarthritis1 moreThis is an observational study to examine presence of CS in patients with knee osteoarthritis (OA), chronic LBP (CLBP), and chronic neck pain (CNP) seeking outpatient physical therapy (PT) services. The study will also examine if outcomes differ between patients with CS and patients without CS symptoms with standard PT interventions.
Cervicothoracic Junction Mobilization Versus Muscle Energy Technique in Chronic Neck Pain
Chronic Mechanical Neck PainThis study will be conducted to identify the difference between the effect of of cervicothoracic junction mobilization and autogenic Muscle Energy Technique. on neck pain, cervical range of motion, cervical proprioception and neck disability in mechanical neck pain patients with cervicothoracic junction hypomobility.
The Effect of Telerehabilitation in Patients With Chronic Neck Pain
Chronic Neck PainTelerehabilitation offers more efficient follow-up of patients during their home exercise period as a cost-effective and effective treatment model. This study was planned to examine the effectiveness of telerehabilitation in patients with chronic neck pain. The aim of the study is to compare the video-based and telerehabilitation based home-exercise program in patients with chronic neck pain. It is aimed to evaluate the patients in terms of pain, functionality, quality of life, and exercise adherence.
Effects of Instrumental and Manipulative Techniques for the Suboccipital Region in Subjects With...
Chronic Mechanical Neck PainThe aim of the study is to compare the effectiveness between the suboccipital inhibition technique, the suboccipital inhibition carried out with the INYBI instrument and the suboccipital inhibition with the INYBI plus the upper cervical manipulation, all in patients with chronic mechanic cervicalgia, and to determine which of these techniques is the most effective in the variables studied. In order to do so, 96 subjects participated in the study, being assigned to the 3 intervention groups. We expected the combined treatment (INYBI instrument + upper cervical manipulation) to be the one to produce the best results.
Instrument-assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization and Kinesiotape Application in Individuals With Chronic...
Cervical PainChronic neck pain causes errors in joint position sense. There are studies in the literature suggesting that instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization and Kinesiotape applications improve the joint position sense. There is no study examining these applications acutely on joint position sense and pain in the cervical region. As a result of our study, we will compare the effects of single-session instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization and Kinesiotape application on pain and joint position sense.
Effects of Kendall Exercise Versus Gong's Mobilization in Text Neck Syndrome. A Pilot Study
Neck PainThis project was a pilot randomized trial conducted to compare the effects of Kendall exercise and Gong's mobilization on pain, range of motion, function and strength in text neck syndrome so that we can have best treatment option for patients with neck pain
Therapeutic Exercises and Stabilization Exercises Given After Manual Therapy
Patients With Non-Specific Chronic Neck PainThe study was conducted to determine and compare the effects of the therapeutic exercises and stabilization exercises given to the patient after the manual therapy session on pain, neck range of motion, daily living activities and quality of life.
Effects of Dry Needling With a Standard Exercise Programme on Pain and Quality of Life in Patients...
Neck PainAbstract\sBackground Physical therapists frequently utilize dry needling (DN), which focuses on trigger points and non-trigger point structures, to treat mechanical neck pain (MNP). It is an invasive procedure that involves inserting solid fiber needles into myofascial trigger points or hyperirritable nodules that are painful to the touch. This procedure can affect the motor and autonomic neurons and relieve pain. Objectives examining the short-term effects of dry needling in combination with a standardized exercise program on pain and quality of life in chronic mechanical neck pain Methods The allocation of 18 participants to the DN or Exercise intervention groups will be done at random. Before the exam, the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), Neck Disability Index (NDI), Short Form-36 Quality of Life Scale, and Numerical Rating Scale (NPS-11) will be evaluated. Analytical Statistics For the statistical analysis of the data, SPSS 23.0 will be employed. The "Kolmogorov-Smirnov test" will be used to determine whether the data are distributed normally. The effectiveness of each intervention will be determined using a paired t test, and between-group comparisons will be made using an independent t test. The distribution of categorical variables will be compared using a chi-square test. A 95% confidence interval and p0.05 will be used to determine significance. Key words: mechanical neck pain, dry needling, neck exercises, and quality of life.
Is Patient Choice of Exercise Preference Important in Chronic Neck Pain?
Chronic Neck PainNonspecific chronic neck pain is the third most frequent problem in Spain. It has an annual presence between 15% and 50% where women are the most affected. This pain influences the psychosocial state of the person. Physical exercise has been shown to be effective in a wide variety of chronic pain conditions, including improving quality of life and emotional problems. Design: Single-blind, controlled, randomized clinical trial. Methods: The study will be approached in the Faculty of Nursing and Physiotherapy of the University of Alcalá. 52 subjects with nonspecific chronic neck pain will be selected and randomly divided into two groups. The first group should perform 5 exercises that have been shown to be effective in the management of neck pain selected by the physiotherapist focused on neck pain. The second group must choose, from a list of exercises that have been shown to be effective in the management of neck pain, 5 exercises. Both groups should record the pain, the number of repetitions and the series performed. The duration of the intervention will be a total of 8 weeks with evaluations pre-intervention, post-intervention and 4 weeks after the end of the intervention. The objective of this study is to evaluate if the exercise chosen by the patient is better than the exercises selected by the physiotherapist for the variables chronic neck pain, strength of the affected muscles, kinesiophobia and adherence to treatment.
