简要总结
the aim of this study is to investigate the efficacy of instrumented assisted soft tissue mobilization versus integrated neuromuscular inhibition technique on mechanical non-specific neck pain
详细描述
Mechanical neck pain is a prevalent condition in various populations. Neck pain occurrence is affected by several factors, involving environmental, psychological, and social aspects. Neck pain represents the fourth major disorder responsible for a person's year lived with disability and ranked eleventh as disability-adjusted life years of a person. The neck pain incidence ranges from 10.4 to 23.3% in 1-year time, while the range of prevalence was 0.4 to 86.8%. It has a high prevalence among computer users, office workers, and females, especially females aged 35 to 49 years old. Myofascial trigger point (MTrP) might play an important role in the formation of mechanical neck pain and is known as a hyperirritable spot in skeletal muscle that is accompanied with a hypersensitive palpable nodule in a taut band. IASTM and integrated play an important role in the treatment of mechanical neck pain.this trial has three groups; one will receive IASTM+ conventional, the second will receive integrated + conventional and the third will receive conventional treatment for four week
