简要总结
This study is a randomized controlled trial and its purpose is to determine the combined effects of sustained natural apophyseal glides and kinesiotaping on pain, range of motion and neck disability in patients with chronic mechanical neck pain.
详细描述
This study aims to determine the combined effects of sustained natural apophyseal glides and kinesiotaping in chronic mechanical neck pain patients of age range 18-40. Outcome variables are pain, range of motion and functional disability of neck which will be determined by using the following respective data collection tools:
- Numeric pain rating scale
- Inclinometer
- Neck Disability Index
Participants of interest will be approached and explained about the research. They will be randomly allocated in to two groups. Informed written consent will be taken. The intervention protocol will be comprised of six sessions over a 2-week period (3 sessions per week on alternate days). Outcome measures will be assessed at baseline and after 2 weeks. Data will be analyzed and interpreted using SPSS.

主要结局
Cervical Range of Motion
时间窗: 2 weeks
The range of motion for flexion, extension, and side bending will be documented using a Inclinometer, positioned on the vertex of the head. For rotation, it will be placed on the forehead. Inclinometer demonstrates good Intraclass Correlation Coeffecient (ICC) value of 0.770-0.982.
Functional Disability of Neck
时间窗: 2 weeks
It will be documented by using Neck Disability Index (NDI) which consists of 10 questions addressing various aspects of neck functions to assess the impact of neck pain on a person's daily life. A total score ranges between 0 and 50 with higher scores indicating a high level of disability. Each question contains six answer choices, scored from 0 (no disability) to 5 (complete disability). All sections are then totaled.The scores on NDI are typically classified as: 0-4 (no disability), 5-14 (mild disability), 15-24 (moderate disability), 25-34 (severe disability), above 34 (complete disability).
Pain intensity
时间窗: 2 weeks
It will be documented by using Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NPRS) which is a self- rated scale of 0-10 points where the participants rate their pain verbally or in writing."0" shows no pain whereas "10" represents worst pain. According to guidelines, NPRS scale categorizes pain into no pain (0), mild pain (1-3), moderate pain (4-7) and severe pain (8-10).
