Active clinical trials for "Neck Pain"

The objective of this study is to investigate the effects of myofascial release combined with isometrics and with scapular stabilization on neck pain, disability and ROM in young adults with text neck syndrome

Nonspecific 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.

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.

The study consists of a theoretical and practical intervention based on the Back School. This intervention will be carried out over 8 weeks with a frequency of two sessions per week, for a total of 16 sessions of 45 minutes duration. Of all the sessions, 14 had a practical focus (strength and stretching exercises) and the other two had a theoretical focus (self-management techniques and pain neuroscience education). In addition, they had an initial session and a session at the end of the of the intervention in which measurements of the different variables were taken (The Visual Analogue Scale; Neck Disability Index; Tampa Scale Of kinesiophobia).These variables will be measured on two occasions, at the beginning of the study and at the end of the intervention, an average of 2 months. The clinical practice guidelines highlight the importance of neck pain prevention through exercise an education. There are previous studies of the effects of theoretical and practical programmes based on back school on the lumbar region but not on the cervical region. Therefore, the aim of this study is to investigate the effects of a BS-based intervention on neck pain and functionality as well as kinesiophobia and quality of life in adults. The hypothesis previously hypothesised that this BS-based intervention would have positive effects on pain, functionality, kinesiophobia and quality of life.

In this study, the effects of 6-week telerehabilitation-based Pain Neuroscience Education and exercise training in participants with Non-specific Chronic Neck Pain will be investigated.

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.

It has been estimated that between 50% and 85% of the population will suffer neck pain along their life. Chronic nonspecific neck pain is one of the main causes of disability in the population, it represents 25% of visits to physiotherapy, and it also has a high chance of chronification. The efficacy of combining manual therapy and therapeutic exercise for the treatment of this pathology has been demonstrated a lot of times. However, no conclusive studies have been found that compare the isolated application of both treatments, thus being an important focus of action and research. The main objective of the study is to check if the treatment with therapeutic exercise is better than manual therapy in the improvement of the disability in patients with chronic neck pain. A randomized, controlled, monocentric, parallel and single-blind clinical trial will be carried out. The simple will be obtained from the population over 18 years old with chronic neck pain of more than 12 weeks of evolution and will be those who meet the inclusion and exclusion criteria. The patients will be randomly divided into 2 intervention groups, in one of the groups will be applied a manual therapy session of about 30 minutes once a week for 4 weeks. In the other group it will be delivered and explained to the patients, a home therapeutic exercise program that will be carried out on alternate days for 4 weeks.

To compare the effectiveness of thoracic manipulation and MET on chronic mechanical neckache

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.
