简要总结
Background And Need of Research:Chronic neck pain is a widespread medical condition that contributes significantly to disability globallyfor which the most commonly used form of treatment is based on therapeutic exercise which has had a moderate impact on people with chronic neck pain. However, there is currently little evidence to support physical activity as an effective treatment for neck pain
.
Objective: To investigate the effects of physical activity program in addition to conventional physiotherapy treatment in patients with chronic neck pain.
Methods**:** A single-blinded randomized controlled trial including 20 eligible patients will be conducted after their random allocation to either group 1 receiving conventional treatment or group 2 receiving 20 min of walking on a treadmill along with conventional treatment for 5 days per week for 4 weeks. Outcome measures will include pain, disability, muscle activity, physical activity status, muscle strength, muscle endurance, pain pressure threshold, sleep quality and quality of life at baseline (week 0) and after 4th week.
Conclusion: This study will provide a better understanding of how the addition of physical activity program in addition to neck-specific conventional physiotherapy treatment affects include pain, disability, muscle activity, physical activity status, muscle strength, muscle endurance, pain pressure threshold, sleep quality and quality of life . Further, it will add knowledge for evidence-based practice and health promotion to physiotherapists in treating chronic neck pain.
Ethical Approval: The study is approved by the Institutional Ethical Committee, Jamia Millia Islamia, New Delhi, India. Ethical standards will be maintained during the study according to the Declaration of Helsinki, 1964.
