Overview
Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to determine whether manipulative osteopathic treatment associated exercises improves pain and function in individuals with chronic non-specific neck pain
Detailed Description
The purpose of this study is to determine whether manipulative osteopathic treatment associated exercises improves pain and function in individuals with chronic non-specific neck pain Design: a randomized single blind placebo controlled trial will be conducted trial. Patients (n=40) with non-specific neck pain will be randomized to receive 1) osteopathic manipulative treatment and exercise (n=20) or 2) exercise alone (n=20). Participants will receive 8 treatments during 4 weeks. Clinical outcomes will be obtained at 1 week, four weeks and 24 weeks after end of treatment. Methods: The primary outcome will be pain measured by 11-point numerical pain rating scale. The secondary outcome will be disability measured by the Neck Disability Index, range of motion measured by Cervical Range of Motion device, Pressure pain threshold measured by electronic algometer.
