NCT03603054 | Completed

• 1 other identifier: DPC.EPP.02.18
• Study Type: interventional

Brief Summary

No studies have investigated the effects of a Sciatic nerve mobilization in subjects with neck pain. This study aims to determine the immediate effects of a lower limbs neural mobilization on cervical range of motion and on the perception of pain in the most common trigger points located in the cervical musculature.

Conditions

Neck Pain

Keywords

Neck pain; Neural mobilization; Myofascial trigger point; Sciatic nerve

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Pain level at rest

  A Visual Analog Scale, will be used for recording level of pain at rest. The VAS evaluates levels of pain intensity using an 10-point scale (range 0-10), with 0 being classified as "no sensation" and 10 "pain as bad as could be".

  Change from baseline in Visual Analog Scale at 2 minutes after intervention

Secondary Outcomes (5)

• Cervical Range of Motion (CROM)

  Before intervention and 2 minutes after

• Mechanical pressure Algometer

  Before intervention and 2 minutes after

• Vernier caliper

  Before intervention and 2 minutes after

• The Neck Disability Index, Spanish version

  Before intervention

• Hours of daily use of display screens

  Before intervention

Study Arms (2)

Active neck mobilization

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

The subjects, who were randomly allocated to group active neurodynamic mobilization group, will receive the active sciatic nerve mobilization intervention. The subject will be instructed to do a a modification of the slump. The procedure will be performed 1 minute with each leg, two times, the subjects will rest one minute between each mobilization and between series.

Other: Active neck mobilization

Active Mobilization of the Sciatic nerve

EXPERIMENTAL
