Active clinical trials for "Neck Pain"

The study will be described the development and implementation of the Clinical pathway (CPW) for acupuncture treatment in the management of patients with some chronic pain conditions. The effectiveness of this CPW will be explored in this study through retrospective analysis of clinical outcomes after administration of acupuncture treatment summarised in the guidelines.

The proposed research will be a prospective, observational study to test the hypothesis that anchoring will affect verbal pain scores in the emergency department. There will be a small retrospective aspect to this study to obtain patient satisfaction ratings.

The aim of the study is to determine the effects of the use of smartphone on the neck and shoulder posture, pain, and functions, and the quality of life in young adults. The sample of the study consists of university students. According to the scores they got from the Smartphone Addiction Scale-Short Version, all participants will be divided into two groups. The neck and shoulder posture, pain, and functions, and the quality of life will be compared between the two groups.

Kinesiophobia which is described as fear of movement reduces physical activity levels and increases the risk of chronic pain. We consider that kinesiophobia levels were higher in patients with fibromyalgia syndrome and chronic neck pain so that physical activity levels were lower in this patients groups. Because there are not enough studies, we aimed to evaluate kinesiophobia and physical activity levels in this patients.

Back on Track is a quasi-experimental, mixed-methods study of a unique natural experiment that will answer the question: what is the comparative effectiveness of different payer or health-system strategies that aim to prevent unsafe opioid prescribing? The State of Oregon is enacting a Medicaid reimbursement policy to enhance access to evidence-based non-pharmacotherapeutic treatment options while restricting reimbursement for opioids for back pain. We will assess whether the policy decreases unsafe opioid prescribing and improves patient outcomes compared with usual back pain treatment practices in a comparable state, California, that is not changing Medicaid payment policy.

The aim of this study was to determine the validity, reliability and sensitivity of the Cognitive Exercise Therapy Approach Scale in patients with neck pain.

The purpose of the study is to determine physical and mental health issues of U.S. embryologists related to their occupational characteristics, and how workplace fatigue and burnout may affect their quality of life, cynicism, interactions with patients, attention to detail, and lead to human error, the cause of the most severe IVF incidents that often make headlines and result in costly litigation. It will also correlate how the current manual workflows contribute to these health issues, and what measures can be taken to improve both working conditions and embryologists' health, and, therefore, improve patient care.

Determining the predictors that are effective on work performance and preventive approaches to be developed for these predictors must be individual and adaptable to every environment, time, and equipment. In this context, the purpose of the present study was to show the relations between neck disability, Upper Trapezius (UT) muscle activation, posture, and demographic characteristics with typing task performance in office employees who have neck pain by using their equipment in their workplaces.

The goal of this a randomized control trial is to carried out to examine Graston technique (GT) and muscle energy method (MET) impact on nonspecific neck pain compared to traditional physiotherapy treatment (TPT), This study aims to contrast between the outcomes of GT and MET on both pain intensity and functional disability in patients. Each participant was assigned a unique number, and then those numbers were randomly divided into three groups. Three groups were formed from a random selection of participants: GT Group (A): received 12 sessions of GT and (TPT) over the course of four weeks (three sessions per week). MET Group (B): received 12 sessions of MET treatment and (TPT) over a period of four weeks (three sessions per week). Control Group (C): received 12 sessions of traditional physiotherapy (TPT) over a period of four weeks (three sessions per week).

The goal of this pilot study is to determine the feasibility of an individually tailored yoga program delivered in a group setting for the treatment of chronic neck and back pain in a low income population. Chronic pain is one of the most common, costly, and disabling conditions, and is often refractory to treatment. Yoga is a promising treatment for chronic pain. This pilot study will test the hypothesis that study subjects will participate in a voluntary 12 week yoga intervention for the treatment of chronic neck and back pain, as assessed by attendance at 12 weekly yoga practice sessions. Secondary outcomes will include change in pain and quality of life scores over the 12 week study period as assessed by the Visual Analog Scale for Pain Severity and EQ-5D-3L.
