Active clinical trials for "Neck Pain"

To compare the effects of Thoracic manipulation and MET in relieving pain.in improving Range of motion and in improving functional disability.

The purpose of this study will investigate the effect of adding high power pain threshold ultrasound to traditional therapy on axioappendicular muscles amplitude and fatigue in neck pain

Small clinical pilot studies have shown that vacuum massage-related techniques such as traditional dry cupping can reduce musculoskeletal pain such as back and neck pain. At the same time, little is yet known about the potential mechanisms of action of these therapies. A vacuum pump induces a massaging effect of the skin including the deeper tissue layers. The resulting massage technique corresponds to a kind of tissue manipulation similar to dry cupping. In this procedure, suction force and air flow can be individually adjusted. This is an advantage that can be used for patients with varying degrees of sensitivity or who are preloaded by patients with varying degrees of sensitivity or a history of pain. The aim of this study is to investigate the mechanisms of action of the therapeutic effects of the vacuum cupping in chronic neck or back pain using the biomarker QST.

This study is a within-subjects design; therefore, the participant will serve as their own control. Participants will be included in the study if they have neck pain or disability defined by a score of more than 14 on the Neck Disability Index. They will be excluded if they have any diagnosed disc pathology. A mask-associated pain questionnaire will be completed by the participants prior to the study to determine their perceived effect of mask-wearing on neck pain. This questionnaire is adapted from the HAPPE study on mask-associated headache pain. A baseline pain rating will be recorded a numerical pain scale. Next, active cervical range of motion will be measured, three times in each direction to be averaged. A pain rating will be recorded for pain during cervical motion. Kinesio® Tape will be applied to activate the cervical extensor muscles. The participant will sit with the tape on for 20 minutes, then active cervical range of motion and pain will be recored again.

To compare the effectiveness of the cervicothoracic junction mobilization and eccentric muscle energy technique on mechanical cervical pain. To compare the effectiveness of the cervicothoracic junction mobilization and eccentric muscle energy technique on cervical disability. To compare the effectiveness of the cervicothoracic junction mobilization and eccentric muscle energy technique on cervical ROM.

This study will utilize qualitative cross-sectional and quantitative longitudinal methods. In semi-structured interviews, orthopedic providers and patients with spine conditions will discuss their overall perspectives, specific needs, and preferred solutions to addressing mental health impairment in the context of orthopedic care and research. In these sessions, patient stakeholders will also user test two specific mental health interventions: a customized version of a commercial digital mental health intervention (Wysa) and a prototype of a print-based mental health resource guide. The patient stakeholders will be provided one month of Wysa access, and they will complete baseline and follow-up measures related to usability, clinical effectiveness, and intermediate behavioral mechanisms through which Wysa is hypothesized to act. Wysa usage data will be obtained from the app company. Delivery of Wysa and the printed resource guide will be iteratively refined based on user feedback.

Chronic neck pain (CNP) attributed to myofascial pain syndrome (MFPS) which is one of the particularly common skeletal muscle disorder associated with the hyperirritable zone in the taut band of muscle. Myofascial trigger points (MTrP) are one of the most overlooked and ignored causes of musculoskeletal pain. This study aims to compare the clinical efficacy of acupressure of cervical acupoints versus ischemic compression release (ICR) of MTrPs in CNP.

The main aim of this study is to determine the effects of routine physical therapy with and without home-based exercise manual on pain and disability in patients of postural neck pain. To exceptional time, the effects and outcomes of home-based exercise manual for the patients with postural neck pain have not yet been explored. Due to the current Covid-19 pandemic and social isolation, most of the individuals with office based occupations are performing their duties from their homes, which has some negative impact on their neck biomechanics and leads to the postural neck pain, this study will not only enlighten the beneficial effects of home-based exercise manual for the patients of postural neck pain, to reduce the risk of disability and improve their quality of life, but it will also be cost effective for them.

Objective of the study is to compare the effects of kinesio taping and routine physical therapy on pain, range of motion and functional disability in patients with upper cross syndrome.It is a single blinded randomized controlled trial using non probability purposive sampling technique. ALTERNATIVE HYPOTHESIS: There is a significant difference in the effects of routine physical therapy with and without kinesio taping on pain, range of motion and functional disability in patients with upper cross syndrome. NULL HYPOTHESIS: There is no significant difference in the effects of routine physical therapy with and without kinesio taping on pain, range of motion and functional disability in patients with upper cross syndrome.

The aim of this research is to analyze the effect of Mulligan technique versus stretching techniques and versus routine physical therapy on pain, range of motion and functional disability among restaurant chefs presenting with non-specific chronic pain.
