研究概览
简要总结
There is enough evidence to suggest that the spinal manipulation of the upper cervical spine and cervicothoracic spine are effective in decreasing neck pain. Therefore, the purpose of this randomized controlled trial is to compare the effects of an isolated application of upper cervical spine thrust joint manipulation with the application of a full combination of cervical, cervico-thoracic and thoracic spine thrust joint manipulation on neck pain, disability and cervical range of motion in individuals with chronic mechanical neck pain.

结局指标
主要结局
Change in neck pain at rest: Numeric Pain Rating Scale (0-10)
时间窗: Baseline and 7 days post-treatment
Neck pain at rest. Measured with the Numeric Pain Rating Scale (0 = ''no pain'' and 10 = ''worst imaginable pain).
Change in neck disability: Neck Disability Index (0-50)
时间窗: Baseline and 7 days post-treatment
Neck disability is measured with Neck Disability Index (10 items). A higher score indicates greater disability.
次要结局
- Change in flexion movement: Cervical Range of Motion device(Baseline and 7 days post-treatment)
- Change in extension movement: Cervical Range of Motion device(Baseline and 7 days post-treatment)
- Change in rigth lateral flexion movement: Cervical Range of Motion device(Baseline and 7 days post-treatment)
- Change in left lateral flexion movement: Cervical Range of Motion device(Baseline and 7 days post-treatment)
- Change in right rotation movement: Cervical Range of Motion device(Baseline and 7 days post-treatment)
- Change in left rotation movement: Cervical Range of Motion device(Baseline and 7 days post-treatment)
