Active clinical trials for "Neck Pain"

The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of a short treatment period with Balance Body Tape on the intensity of perceived neck, shoulder and back pain and neck posture.

To determine the effects of cranio-cervical flexion training on the cervical proprioception and pain in patients with mechanical neck pain.

To compare the effects of kinesio taping, cervical thrust manipulation and conventional therapy on neck pain, functional status and range of motion

Objective: To compare the effectiveness of thoracic thrust manipulation, together with massages techniques and stretching, between people with neck pain versus people with low back pain. Methods: The research will be performed from August 2021 to October 2021 at the University of Alcala de Henares. (Madrid) A minimum of forty-six (46) volunteers will participate in this research, and they will be divided in two groups of twenty-three (23). One group will be formed by candidates suffering from neck pain (group A) and the other one by candidate with low back pain (group B). Both groups will receive the same treatment and specific stretching exercises as applicable in accordance to the pain area, e.g.: group A will get the massage and the stretching exercises more suitable for the neck pain and group B the same but for the low back pain. Nevertheless both groups will receive the same technical thrust manipulation in thoracic area. All these treatments will be applied of the volunteers at the University of Alcalá. The treatment includes the following activities: Twenty (20) minutes massage in the pain area, as applicable. Technical thrust manipulation in thoracic area. Ten (10) minutes stretching in accordance to the pain area treated. The stretching shall be repeated twice a week by each volunteer. A total of six (6) sessions will be carried out during six (6) weeks, one session per week. Pain, disability, kinesiophobia, HRQoL will be assessed as follow: Before first session. (In this evaluation will be also analyzed demographic variables i.e.: height, weight, age, gender, academic level, smoker/no smoker) Between third and fourth session. After sixth session. Four weeks after sixth session.

45 sedentary volunteer female individuals whose age range is between 18-25 years and diagnosed with chronic idiopathic neck pain by a specialist physical therapy doctor will participate in the study. Participants will be randomly divided into three groups: vegan diet group (n=15), therapeutic exercise group (n=15) and control group (n=15). Participants with chronic neck pain who will be on a vegan diet will follow a diet program prepared by an expert dietitian under the supervision of an endocrinologist. In this diet program, a diet that includes grains, fruits, vegetables, legumes, as well as dairy products and eggs, known as lacto-ovo vegetarian, will be applied. Consumption of meat, poultry, fish, seafood and processed food and beverages will not be allowed. There will be no calorie restriction in the diet, and the diet will be arranged according to the amount of calories calculated by the expert dietitian according to BMI. The diet will last eight weeks. Individuals who follow a diet will be constantly checked by the workers with the mobile device application (My Fitness Pal®). Individuals in the therapeutic exercise group will perform therapeutic exercises for eight weeks, 3 days a week, accompanied by a specialist physiotherapist.The aim of this study is to compare the Effect of Therapeutic Exercise and Vegan Diet on Pain and Quality of Life in Young Women with Chronic Idiopathic Neck Pain.

Deep cervical flexor and extensor muscles show decreased strength in patients with Mechanical neck pain. Exercises involving deep cervical muscles has improved coordination and motor control. This study aim to determine the effects of deep flexor muscle exercises along with deep extensor muscle exercises on pain, range of motion and muscle strength in mechanical neck pain.

The objective of this randomized control trial is to determine the effectiveness of Autogenic and Reciprocal Inhibition techniques with conventional therapy in mechanical neck pain to improve Pain, Range of Motion, and Functional Disability in long term. This study is being conducted at the Physiotherapy department of Sindh Institute of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, Karachi (former institute of Dow University of Health Sciences) among 80 patients with mechanical neck pain on the basis of non-probability purposive sample technique with screening for study criteria through a consultant physician (blinded) . After taking informed consent all participants will be randomly allocated in two groups through second researcher who is not involved in screening, baseline assessment and providing intervention. Group 1 will receive Autogenic Inhibition muscle energy technique (MET) with conventional therapy and Group 2 will receive Reciprocal inhibition MET with conventional therapy. A total of 12 sessions will be provided. Outcomes will be assessed at baseline, after 1st session, and at last session.

Mechanical neck pain (MNP) is defined as neck pain that becomes evident with the posture of the cervical region, movement or palpation of the cervical region muscles, felt in the cervical, occipital or posterior scapular region without spreading to the upper extremity, and without any trauma or specific pathology underlying the complaints. Most of the MNP cases are due to muscular or paraspinal soft tissue problems and show improvement in the first 6 weeks with conservative treatment methods. Various manual therapy techniques and various exercises are reported to have positive effects on neck pain. However, the isolated effects of these techniques in people with MNP are not fully known. Therefore, the aim of this study is to determine the effects of two different treatment programs in which the manual therapy technique and the exercise program are applied in individuals with MNP. In addition, comparing the effect of the treatment program in which manual therapy and exercise program are applied together with the isolated effects of these techniques is another aim.

This study a randomized clinical trial to determine the effects of fasiatherapy versus facial manipulation on pain, range of motion and function in patients with chronic neck pain. A sample of 52 patients will be taken and divided into two groups each with 26 patients. Group A will receive DBM fasciatherapy along with conventional physical therapy while group B will receive fascial manipulation along with the conventional physical therapy protocol. The conventional physical therapy protocol will include hot pack, neck isometrics and stretches. The session will be around 45 to 60 min on each patient with three session per week on alternate days. A total of three-week treatment regime will be given to the patients and assessment of patient's pain, range of motion and function with NPRS (numeric pain rating scale), goniometry and NDI (neck disability index) will be done at the baseline, after the completion of treatment at three weeks and after 6 weeks to observe the long-term effects. The data will be analyzed using SPSS.

The aim of our study is to investigate the Turkish validity and reliability of The Henry Ford Hospital Headache Disability Questionnaire (HDI), which has not been previously studied in a Turkish version for any headache type in patients with cervicogenic headache.
