NCT04303338 | Completed

• 1 other identifier: CEIM/HU/2019/45
• Study Type: interventional

Brief Summary

The objective of this study is to assess if the masotherapy with neural tension is more effective than non-neural tension to improve and reduce tremor in patients with Parkinson's disease. The project will be carried out in clinics, where both data collection, assessments and scales will be carried out, as well as the plan and intervention in which the neural tension massage therapy of the radial nerve will be applied to the first intervention group; and massage therapy without neural tension in the second group.

Parkinson Disease

Keywords

Parkinson disease; Essential tremor; Neuromuscular Therapy; Massage; Manual Therapy; Neurodynamic

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Changes in the tremor

  Using the Unified Parkinson's Disease Ratin Scale (UPDRS). Each item is scored 0-4 (0= normal; 10= severe affectation) yielding a total between 0 and 159.

  Baseline and 1 month after intervention

Secondary Outcomes (4)

• Changes in the health-related quality of life: Parkinson Disease Quality of Questionnaire (PDQ-39)

  Baseline 8 weeks and 1 month after intervention

• Changes in the strength

  Baseline 8 weeks and 1 month after intervention

• Changes in the manual dexterity

  Baseline 8 weeks and 1 month after intervention

• Changes in the pain: Visual Analog Scale (VAS)

  Baseline 8 weeks and 1 month after intervention

Study Arms (2)

Masotherapy with neural tension

EXPERIMENTAL

The investigators are going to massage the patient´s upper limb applying a radial nerve neural tension. In order to the upper limb should be positioned lowering the scapula, elbow extended, internal rotation glenohumeral, forearm pronation, bend and cubital deviation of the wrist, fingers bended and thumb adduction, and finally glenohumeral abduction.

Procedure: Masotherapy with neural tension and masotherapy with non-neural tension

Masotherapy with non-neural tension

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

The investigators are going to practice a conventional upper limb massage

Procedure: Masotherapy with neural tension and masotherapy with non-neural tension

Interventions

Masotherapy with neural tension and masotherapy with non-neural tension PROCEDURE

To compare the effectiveness of masotherapy with neural tension and masotherapy with non-neural tension

Also known as: Neurodynamic

Masotherapy with neural tension; Masotherapy with non-neural tension
