• 1 other identifier: REC:00570
• Study Type: interventional
• Target: 66
• Locations: 1 country

Brief Summary

To determine the immediate effects of cervical spine manipulation on pressure pain sensitivity on upper trapezius trigger point. it was a randomized control trial including 66 patients at physiotherapy OPD of railway rehabilitation center from August 2019 to December 2019, Railway General Hospital Pakistan and Max Rehab and decompression center Max health Hospital G8 Islamabad. The subjects were randomly divided into two groups (group control and experimental) by free envelope method.

Conditions

Cervical Pain

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

• changes from the baseline in Algometer values

  It is a device used to identify the pressure and force eliciting a pressure pain threshold. The hand held algometer 1 cm round rubber surface which applies force and display for readings in newtons or kilograms.Sustained force is usually applied at the right angle to the soft tissue. Estimated pressure application rates have ranged from 0.05 to 20N/s. it has a high validity and reliability for measuring pain pressure threshold in patients of myofascial trigger points.

  Baseline and 3 weeks

• changes from the baseline in Inclinometer values

  It is a device used to measure neck ranges of motion.

  Baseline and 3 weeks

Study Arms (2)

Cervical spine manipulation

EXPERIMENTAL

In spinal manipulation, the velocity, magnitude and direction of the impulse are controlled to encourage relaxation and comfort of muscle and connective tissue.

Other: Cervical spine manipulation; Other: traction

traction

EXPERIMENTAL

aimed to relieve pressure on the spine

Other: Cervical spine manipulation; Other: traction

Interventions

Cervical spine manipulation OTHER

hot pack for 10 minutes will be applied followed by cervical manipulation (chin hold kaltenborn) once and then stretching

Cervical spine manipulation; traction

traction OTHER

Hot pack will be applied followed by sustained pressure or MPR for 90 sec and then stretching.

Cervical spine manipulation; traction
