Active clinical trials for "Neck Pain"

The aim of this study was to analyse the immediate effects of a 4-week multimodal physiotherapy program which combines cervical supervised exercises with laser-guided feedback (ELGF) and interferential current electro massage (ICE) in fighter pilots with flight-related neck pain.

To determine the immediate effects of cervical spine manipulation on pressure pain sensitivity on upper trapezius trigger point. it was a randomized control trial including 66 patients at physiotherapy OPD of railway rehabilitation center from August 2019 to December 2019, Railway General Hospital Pakistan and Max Rehab and decompression center Max health Hospital G8 Islamabad. The subjects were randomly divided into two groups (group control and experimental) by free envelope method.

this study will apply a modified cervical exercise that combined McKenzie's and Kendall's exercises, consisted of neck extension exercises and stretching of the pectoralis muscles at the same time. Although they only required a short time to complete, the exercises proved being effective in improving forward head posture.

The study was conducted to determine the effects of respiratory muscle training on pulmonary function and musculoskeletal parameters in patients with chronic neck pain. It included 43 patients, 20-40 years old males and females having non-specific chronic neck pain for more than three months and with low maximum voluntary ventilation (MVV) values were included. Control group (n=21) received conventional physiotherapy with diaphragmatic breathing exercises and experimental group (n=23) received conventional physiotherapy with specially designed respiratory exercise protocol. It concluded that RMT in addition to conventional physiotherapy is effective to improve musculoskeletal and pulmonary parameters in CNP patients.

Local used high molecular weight Hyaluronan (HA) with high viscosity has a variety of receptors in the human body, including CD44, LYVE-1, RHAMM, HARE, Siglec-9, TLR2, CEMIP and TMEM2. Intra-articular local injection of HA has a certain degree of analgesic effect. Local injection of HA into the nerve trunk directed by ultrasound was used for the treatment of neuropathic pain. It was reported that the analgesic effect of HA is regulated by TRPV1 ion channels. This study hypothesizes that hyaluronidase cleaves HA to generate low molecular weight HA fragments HA35 with good tissue permeability, which may bind to a variety of HA receptors on the cell surface within the tissues and produce a broad-spectrum analgesic effect. In this study, 35kDa Hyaluronan fragment HA35 was prepared by mixing hyaluronidase PH20 injection and high molecular weight Hyaluronan (HA) injection at room temperature for 20 minutes. In this study, hyaluronidase injection and Hyaluronan injection were off-label used to conduct an investigator-initiated study (IIT or IIS) for the treatment of herpes zoster and shoulder, neck, back and temporal pain.

Objective: Neural mobilization (NM) is commonly used to treat nerve disorders, and it is useful for disorders associated with neck and arm pain. This study aimed to determine the effects of NM on respiratory function in patients with chronic neck pain. Methods: Overall, 26 patients with neck pain were randomly assigned to two groups: NM or control. In these participants, respiratory function and active cervical range of motion were assessed before and after intervention. Furthermore, the participants were provided a visual analog scale (VAS) and Fremantle Neck Awareness Questionnaire (FreNAQ). Each participant underwent 15 treatment sessions (5 days per week for 3 weeks). Further, in the NM group, in addition to conventional treatment, 10 sessions of neural mobilization were performed.

This randomized control trial was conducted to investigate the efficacy of trigger point dry needling which is a modern treatment intervention compared with ischemic compression release in the patients having neck pain due to myofascial trigger points.

This study aims to determine the effects of holistic spinal fascial mobilization on pain, range of motion and function in patients with chronic neck pain so that we can have the best treatment option for patients with chronic neck pain, the duration will be 10 months, purposive sampling will be done, subject following eligibility criteria from bahawal Victoria hospital Bahawalpur, were allocated in two groups, a baseline assessment was done, Group A participants were given conventional treatment along with fascial mobilization, Group B participants were given conventional treatment, Numeric pain rating scale(NPRS), Neck Disability Index(NDI) and Goniometry for a range of motion,3 sessions per week were given, data was analyzed by using SPSS version 25.

Pain in the neck is a musculoskeletal disorder that affects many individuals. Dry needling has shown an effective technique for the treatment of shoulder and neck disorders. The mechanisms of action of the dry needling are not well-known. This study aims to evaluate the effects of dry needling in the upper trapezius on the autonomic nervous system and nociceptive pain processing in patients with non-specific neck pain. Hypothesis: Dry needling applied in the upper trapezius in patients with non-specific neck pain produced greater activation of the autonomic nervous system and nociceptive pain processing than sham dry needling.

The aim of this study is to determine the effects of scapular stabilization program on pain, range of motion and disability in patients with chronic non- specific neck pain. This study will be a randomized controlled trial and 28 patients fulfilling the inclusion criteria will be included in the study. they will be allocated into 2 groups using non- probability purposive sampling technique. Experimental group will receive relaxation exercises for the cervico-scapular region combined with SSP(scapular stabilization program). The Control group will receive relaxation exercises only. Outcome measure: Numeric Pain Rating Scale, Goniometer, and Neck Disability Index will measure pain, range of motion, and disability. The experimental group will receive a total of 45 minutes sessions, thrice a week on alternate days for 3 weeks. The Control group will receive relaxation exercises in cervico-scapular region including neck stretches, stretches of scapular muscles, and myofascial release 3 times a week for 3 weeks on alternate days. Measurements will be taken at the baseline, at the end of 3rd week and for long term effects follow- up at 6 weeks. Data will be analyzed by SPSS version 20.
