Effect of Cervical Stabilization and Oculomotor Exercises on Position Sense With Chronic Neck Pain...

Chronic Neck PainExercise Addiction

The aim of this study is to compare the effectiveness of Cervical Stabilization and Oculomotor Exercises in addition to the classical physiotherapy on pain severity, cervical joint position sense, posture, cervical joint range of motion, strength and endurance of deep cervical flexor muscles, static and dynamic balance, neck awareness, functional disability and patient satisfaction in individuals with chronic neck pain. When the literature is examined, there is no study comparing the effectiveness of cervical stabilization and oculomotor exercises in individuals with chronic neck pain. However, it has also attracted our attention that a progressive and dynamic program was not followed in studies stating the oculomotor exercise program. In this sense, The study is important in terms of both comparing the effects of these 3 treatments and presenting a progressive and dynamic exercise protocol to the literature.

The Effects of Thoracic Spine Manipulation in Individuals With Non-traumatic Cervical Pain

Neck PainCervical Pain

The purpose of this research is to compare the effects of two commonly used, safe, thoracic spine grade 1-4 and grade 5 mobilization to the thoracic spine on cervical spine pain in individuals with nontraumatic cervical pain. The immediate effects of thoracic spine mobilization have been shown to facilitate greater range of motion increases in the cervical spine and greater pain decreases within a treatment session and on follow-up visits. There is no research utilizing pain threshold perception as an objective outcome of these treatments. Only one study compared the two treatment techniques and concluded that future research should be completed which includes manual therapy for the thoracic spine. (Cleland 2007)

New Approaches in Evaluating Patients' Response to Botulinum Toxins in the Treatment of Chronic...

CervicalgiaLow Back Pain

This protocol is a prospective, open label, pilot study examining the utility of three established pain questionnaires (the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), Neck Disability Index (NDI), the Oswestry Low Back Pain Questionnaire and two novel pain scale devised by the PI) as well as their relationship to three novel quantitative tools to measure the effect of botulinum toxin injections for neck pain and back pain. The three novel methods for measuring neurotoxin effect are: muscle twitch patterns using surface electromyography (sEMG), cervical and lumbar range of motion using a neck and low back inclinometer, and skin surface temperature readings using an infrared imaging camera.

Effectiveness of Physical Therapy Treatments of Myofascial Trigger Points in Subjects With Neck...

Neck PainMyofascial Pain Syndrome

Neck pain is a prevalent musculoskeletal dysfunction. Studies point that individuals with chronic pain have metabolic, vascular and electromyographic changes in trapezius muscle. Moreover, a common clinical sign in this muscle in subjects with neck pain is the presence of myofascial trigger points. These are related to the sensory, motor and autonomic changes, being defined as palpable nodules located in the taut band of skeletal muscle. In this context, the focus on treatment modalities stands out in the literature, however, other resources commonly used in clinical practice still lack scientific evidence. Therefore, the aim of this project is to evaluate the effectiveness of physiotherapy resources in the treatment of myofascial trigger points in the trapezius muscle of patients with neck pain. For such, volunteers with neck pain for more than 90 days, of both genders, aged between 18 and 59 years and bilateral myofascial trigger points in the upper trapezius will be randomized into the following groups: group 1 (kinesiotherapy, n = 20), group 2 (kinesiotherapy + static ultrasound, n = 20), group 3 (kinesiotherapy + diadynamic currents, n = 20) and group 4 (untreated control, n = 20). Volunteers will undergo ten sessions of treatment, being realized the following evaluations: surface electromyography, infrared thermography, numerical scale of pain assessment, algometry, Neck Disability Index and skin impedance. For data analysis, normality test will used to verify the data distribution and consistent statistical test for the appropriate comparisons within and between groups, and thus considered two factors in the comparisons, time and group. Will adopt a significance level of 5%.
