简要总结
No previous randomized control trial has investigated the effectiveness of Bowen's technique on health status in dentists suffering from postural neck Neck pain. Moreover, there is limited evidence and low agreement regarding the effect of Bowen's therapy on Neck pain. Thus, this study aims to answer the question: bowmen's technique is effective for improving Neck pain dentists' function by reducing pain, and disability, and improving posture, and health status, without need for ergonomic alternation?"
详细描述
Bowen technique may be used for relaxation of tightening muscles in poor posture. The findings suggest that Bowen Therapy has inconsistent immediate effects on postural control and pain threshold in healthy subjects. Further studies are needed using symptomatic participants. No previous randomized control trial, to our knowledge, has investigated the effectiveness of Bowen's technique on health status in dentists suffering from postural neck pain. Moreover, there is limited evidence and low agreement regarding the effect of Bowen's therapy on neck pain. Thus, this study aims to answer the question: Bowen's technique is effective for improving neck pain dentists' function by reducing pain, and disability, and improving posture, and health status, without need for ergonomic alternation?"

结局指标
主要结局
Modified Goniometer
时间窗: 6th week
Modified goniometer can be used to measure craniovertebral angle which is helpful to assess the level of postural disability like forward head posture. It provides an estimation of head on neck angle and position of upper cervical spine.
Numerical Rating Scale
时间窗: 6th week
In a Numerical Rating Scale (NRS), patients circle the number between 0 and 10, 0 and 20 or 0 and 100 according to their pain intensity. It is numeric version of visual analog scale.
Neck Disability Index
时间窗: 6th week
This is a standard instrument for measuring disability due to neck pain and it's a self-reported questionnaire. Each of the 10 items is scored from 0 - 5. The maximum score is therefore 50. The obtained score can be multiplied by 2 to produce a percentage score.
