简要总结
the aim of this trial is to compare dry needling and magnesium sulphate iontophoresis in subjects with mechanical neck pain
详细描述
Mechanical neck pain is a prevalent condition in various populations. Neck pain occurrence is affected by several factors, involving environmental, psychological, and social aspects. Neck pain represents the fourth major disorder responsible for a person's year lived with disability and ranked eleventh as disability-adjusted life years of a person. The neck pain incidence ranges from 10.4 to 23.3% in 1-year time, while the range of prevalence was 0.4 to 86.8%. It has a high prevalence among computer users, office workers, and females, especially females aged 35 to 49 years old. Myofascial trigger point (MTrP) might play an important role in the formation of mechanical neck pain and is known as a hyperirritable spot in skeletal muscle that is accompanied with a hypersensitive palpable nodule in a taut band.
dry needling and iontophoresis play a major role in the treatment of mechanical neck pain so this trial was conducted to determine which one has superiority. this trial has three groups. two experimental and one control group.pain, function, pressure pain threshold and emg will be measured
