The symptoms include; pain, tenderness, fatigue and stiffness in the neck and shoulder musculature, headaches radiating from the neck, without a history of injury herniated cervical disk, or degenerative processes. It is characterized pain over the neck region and muscle tenderness elicited on palpation and or neck movement. TNS patients with pain have the reduced sensitivity of the neck proprioception. TN may be work- and individual-related and sociopsychological factors may have effect.

Bowen Therapy, is a dynamic fascial and muscle release approach, consisting of gentle cross-fiber movements applied to the fascia, muscles, tendons, muscle insertions, muscle septa, ligaments and viscera.

主要结局

NPRS FOR NECK PAIN

时间窗: 2 WEEKS

The NPRS is a segmented numeric version of the visual analog scale in which a respondent selects a whole number (0-10 integers) that best reflects the intensity of his/her pain. The scale ranges from '0' representing one pain extreme (e.g. "no pain") to '10' representing the other pain extreme (e.g. "pain as bad as you can imagine" or "worst pain imaginable")
