简要总结
Purpose:
The study aimed to determine whether adding extracorporeal shockwave therapy (ESWT) to a standardized physiotherapy program provides additional benefits for patients with chronic mechanical neck pain. Specifically, it examined effects on pain intensity, pressure pain threshold (PPT), neck disability index (NDI), cervical active range of motion (AROM), and joint position sense (JPS).

结局指标
主要结局
Pressure pain threshold (PPT)
时间窗: 4 weeks
The minimum amount of pressure applied to body tissue that a person perceives as pain, rather than just pressure, is measured by an algometer. Another definition is the point at which a sensation changes from pressure to pain. measured by an algometer. A higher score is better, and a lower score is worse.
次要结局
- Active cervical range of motion(4 weeks)
- Neck Pain(4 weeks)
- Joint position sense(4 weeks)
- Neck disability index (NDI)(4 weeks)
