Brief Summary
The aim of this study was to investigate the efficacy of a self-administered vibration therapy treatment on neck pain, disability and pressure pain thresholds in patients with non-specific neck pain and myofascial trigger points (MTrPs). The investigators hypothesized that patients receiving vibration therapy would report less perceived neck pain, disability and present higher PPTs after receiving vibration therapy when compared to a control no-treatment group.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Pressure Pain Threshold (PPT)
Pain tolerance was measured at baseline (T0) and after the first (T1), five (T5) and 10 treatment sessions (T10).
10 days
Secondary Outcomes (1)
Neck Disability Index (NDI)
10 days
Study Arms (2)
Vibration group
EXPERIMENTALPatients in the vibration therapy group received 10 self-administered sessions of vibration therapy (45-50 Hz), one session per day, remaining on their Shindo® vibration mattress at home in supine for 15 min.
Control group
NO INTERVENTIONSubjects in the control group did not receive vibration therapy
Interventions
vibration therapy was self-administered while the subject was laying in supine in a polyurethane mattress
