简要总结
The purposes of this study are to Investigate adding low frequency high intensity magnetic therapy to cervical stabilization exercises on pain intensity, function, ROM, cervical endurance, and cervical proprioception errors in patients with cervical spondylosis.
详细描述
Cervical spondylosis is a chronic degenerative process of the cervical spine. Pain in the neck and/or arms, neck stiffness, and headaches are the usual symptoms of cervical spondylosis . Low frequency high intensity magnetic therapy causes short term immediate effect in the relieve pain and improve function in patients with cervical spondylosis . Cervical stabilization causes decrease in neck pain and neck disability as well as a significant increase in cervical muscle endurance and cervical range of motion after the intervention. It also demonstrates a more ideal upper body posture and improved cervical proprioception. In the present study, therefore, we aimed to investigate adding low frequency high intensity magnetic therapy to CSE on management of cervical spondylosis. This study will be a benefit in the physical therapy field and may guide rehabilitation programs of physical therapy towards better results through decreasing time needed to perform activity of daily living, decreasing dependency and making patient an active member in society.

结局指标
主要结局
Assessment of Endurance of deep neck flexor muscle by the stabilizer
时间窗: Baseline
Neck muscles endurance test will assess using the stabilizer. Subjects laid hook-lying position on a therapy table with a neutral neck position where their head and neck will be lined up and straight. The pressure sensor of the stabilizer will placed underneath the neck. Subjects will instructed to nod their head gently as if saying 'yes' without using the neck motions which may substitute the sternocleidomastoid muscle so that the pressure sensor will measured 2 mmHg above baseline. The testing will ranged from 20 mmHg to 30 mmHg and the pressure should maintain for the 10 seconds in each 2 mmHg without resting in muscle endurance test. Record the number of times a subject will hold the pressure level .
次要结局
- Assessment of pain pressure threshold (PPT) assessment by using pressure algometer(Baseline)
- Assessment of pain and function using Neck disability index (NDI):(Baseline)
