Comparison of the Effectiveness of Mobilization and Manipulation of the Thoracic Spine in Patients...

Neck Pain

This study aims to compare whether or not there is a difference in the effectiveness of upper back (thoracic spine) mobilizations versus manipulations used in a population of patients with mechanical neck pain. The investigators hypothesize that patients receiving a manipulative technique will experience better outcomes than patients receiving the mobilization techniques and these results will be evident at a 48-hour follow-up.

Eccentric Exercise in Patients With Non-Specific Neck Pain

Neck Pain

Neck pain is one of the most frequently investigated and common musculoskeletal disorders that cause disability in the community.If neck pain is due to multifactorial etiology, it is defined as non-specific neck pain.Eccentric exercises are used to increase muscle strength and muscle mass. Non-specific neck pain affects negatively and often leads to severe disability. Various rehabilitation techniques are available to reduce pain and disability and increase functional level. This study aimed to compare the pain and functional status of eccentric exercise training and home program exercise groups of people with non-specific neck pain.

Changes on Pain and Range of Motion by the Use of Kinesio Taping in Patients Diagnosed With Cervical...

Mobility LimitationMyofascial Trigger Point Pain

The aim of this study is to demonstrate that the application of Kinesio Taping on a myofascial trigger point in the trapezius muscle able to cause a decrease of the pain and an increase of the cervical range of motion in patients diagnosed with cervical pain.

Kinesiotaping and Post-dry Needling Soreness

Mechanical Neck Pain

Application of trigger point dry needling can induce post-dry needling soreness. This is not a negative experience, but sometimes some patients want to reduce it as much as possible. Different therapeutic strategies targeting to decrease post-dry needling soreness need to be investigated. Since Kinesiotaping has been advocated for decreasing tone in the muscle tissues, it would be a potential intervention for this objective.

Dry Needling vs Dry Needling With ES in Patients With Neck/Shoulder Pain

Myofascial PainNeck Pain1 more

First, we aim to determine if there is a difference in the rate of improvement, as measured by the Neck Disability Index (NDI) and Numerical Pain Rating Scale (NPRS), across a 6 week treatment period between those treated with DN only and those treated with DN and intramuscular electrical stimulation (IES) in subjects with upper trapezius active trigger points (aTrPs). Secondly, we want to determine if improvements in clinical outcomes (NDI and NPRS) of patients with upper trapezius active trigger points (aTrPs) treated with dry needling (DN) alone or dry needling with intramuscular electrical stimulation (DN/IES) are maintained 6 weeks post treatment without further intervention. Research Questions: Is there a difference in the rate of improvement in NDI and NPRS across a 6 week treatment period in subjects with upper trapezius active trigger points (aTrPs) between those treated with DN only and those treated with DN and intramuscular electrical stimulation (IES)? Are improvements in clinical outcomes (NDI and NPRS) of patients with upper trapezius active trigger points (aTrPs) treated with dry needling (DN) maintained 6 weeks post treatment without further intervention? Tertiary exploration: If improvement is maintained, is there a difference in outcome maintenance between groups? Did improvement increase between 6 and 12 weeks?

Interferential Current and Therapeutic Exercise Program in Chronic Neck Pain

Neck Pain

Objectives: To analyze the number of sessions needed to achieve a positive impact after combining interferential current therapy and therapeutic exercise, compared with therapeutic exercise alone, on self-reported pain, disability and range of motion in subjects with chronic neck pain. Design: A randomized, single-blind, controlled trial. Subjects: Patients between 18 and 65 years old, with idiopathic chronic neck pain. Methods: The experimental group who will perform a combined treatment using Interferential current therapy and therapeutic exercise for two weeks. The control group will receive the same program of therapeutic exercise during the same period of time.

Clinical Outcomes, Viscoelastic Properties and Central Pain Mechanisms After Eccentric Training...

Neck PainWork-related Injury1 more

Objectives: The aims are to 1) evaluate the clinical impact of eccentric training in female computer users with chronic NSP, 2) compare pressure hyperalgesia, temporal summation of pain (TSP), and conditioned pain modulation (CPM) in female office workers with and without NSP, and 3) assess changes in central pain responses after training. Methods: In part A, twenty office workers with NSP will be compared with 20 healthy controls. In part B, the NSP group will undergo a 5-week eccentric training program. Participants will report their pain intensity, and complete the Neck Disability Index, and the Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand questionnaire. Pressure pain thresholds (PPTs) will be assessed over the neck and forearm. Cuff algometry will identify pain detection (PDT) and tolerance thresholds (PTT). TSP will be evaluated by visual analogue scale pain scores during 10 repetitive cuff stimulations. CPM will be calculated as the difference in PDT with and without a conditioning painful stimulus. Outcomes will be measured at baseline and post-intervention.

Comparison Between Deep Dry Needling and Muscle Energy Technique on Chronic Non-specific Neck Pain...

Neck Pain

The goal of this clinical trial is to compare between applying deep dry needling and muscle energy technique in chronic non-specific neck pain patients. Researchers will compare between deep dry needling group, muscle energy technique group and control group to see if there are change in pain, range of motion or function.
