简要总结
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the impact of Ischemic Compression (IC) and Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization (IASTM) on pain, functionality, cervical range of motion, pressure pain threshold, and quality of life in patients suffering from nonspecific neck pain.
详细描述
Chronic nonspecific neck pain affects approximately 67% of the global population at least once in their lifetime. This type of neck pain, which is not linked to any specific cause or disease but often associated with the musculoskeletal system, can result from muscle strain or spasms in the neck. It causes functional limitations and decreases quality of life for those affected. Individuals frequently turn to healthcare services and pain-relieving medications in their efforts to manage this discomfort. Chronic nonspecific neck pain is recognized as a significant public health challenge due to its considerable socioeconomic impact. Several studies have indicated that myofascial trigger points in the neck region are associated with nonspecific neck pain and that myofascial trigger point therapy can reduce pain. Therefore, the role of myofascial trigger point therapy in the treatment of nonspecific neck pain has been emphasized in studies.

结局指标
主要结局
Neck Disability Index (NDI)
时间窗: Six weeks
NDI is a measurement tool used to assess functional limitations in the neck region. It is commonly employed in individuals experiencing neck pain to evaluate the extent of restrictions in daily activities. NDI allows patients to subjectively assess how much their neck pain affects their daily lives. The score on the scale indicates the degree of functional impairment experienced by the patient and is used to evaluate treatment outcomes. When the score decreases, it indicates a reduction in limitations.
Visual Analog Scale(VAS)
时间窗: Six weeks
VAS is a measurement tool commonly used to assess the intensity of pain or other symptoms. It consists of a horizontal line labeled with descriptive anchors at each end (e.g., 'no pain' to 'worst pain imaginable'). Patients mark on the line to indicate their subjective perception of symptom severity, with the distance from the starting point to the mark providing a quantitative measure. As the value on the scale increases, the perceived pain or symptom intensity also increases
