简要总结
Which is more effective Instrument assisted soft tissue mobilization or Dry cupping on pain intensity, cervical range of motion and functional status in patients with chronic mechanical neck pain?
详细描述
Neck pain is a common musculoskeletal pathology treated by physical therapists around the world. Neck pain is one of the highest complaints in terms of years lived with a disability, increasing the prelevancy of proper management by physical therapists. The overall prevalence of neck pain ranges from 10% to 20%, and the incidence of new neck pain ranging from 10% to 50%. Dry cupping involves the use of glass, plastic or bamboo cups that are placed over localized areas of skin. A vacuum suction is achieved with heat from a flame, a manual handheld pump or electrical pumping devices to create a negative pressure, drawing localized skin and soft tissue structures into the cup . Instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization (IASTM) is a new technique, which has been known to be effective in reducing muscle tightness in athletes . IASTM is a new tool, which allows clinicians to efficiently locate and treat individuals diagnosed with soft tissue dysfunction .
The use of the instrument is thought to provide a mechanical advantage for the clinician by allowing deeper penetration and more specific treatment, while also reducing imposed stress on the hands

结局指标
主要结局
Pain intensity
时间窗: up to four weeks
Visual analogue scale will assess pain intensity.The visual analog scale (VAS) is a validated, subjective measure for acute and chronic pain. Scores are based on self-reported measures of symptoms that are recorded with a single handwritten mark placed at one point along the length of a 10-cm line that represents a continuum between the two ends of the scale- "no pain" on the left end (0 cm) of the scale and the "worst pain" on the right end of the scale (10 cm).
次要结局
- Cervical Range of motion(up to four weeks)
