简要总结
This study aim to investigate the effects of Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation for improving pressure pain thresholds (PPTs), range of motion,Neck Disability Index, the multidimensional health related quality of life (SF-12) and the multidimensional health related quality of life and pain in patients with mechanical neck pain (NP).
详细描述
Fifty-four participants with NP will randomly allocated to either an Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (ten sessions) or transcutaneous electric nerve stimulation (TENS) (ten sessions) during two weeks. . Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), Neck Disability Index ( NDI), range of motion and (CROM), Questionnaire SF-12 and PPTs in sub-occipital and upper trapezius muscles were measured at baseline, at the end of treatment and at 1 month follow-up. T-tests and a repeated-measures multivariate analysis of variance (RM-MANOVA) were used for VAS, CROM and PPTs, respectively.

结局指标
主要结局
The intensity of cervical pain
时间窗: Baseline
A 10-point Numerical Pain Rating Scale (NPRS; 0: no pain, 10: maximum pain) will be used to assess the patients' current level of cervical pain, and the worst and lowest level of pain experienced in the preceding week in the cervical area.
次要结局
- The intensity of cervical pain(Twelve weeks)
- Active cervical range of motion(Baseline,four weeks and Twelve weeks.)
- Pressure pain thresholds in cervical trigger points(Baseline,four weeks and Twelve weeks.)
- Neck Disability Index (NDI).(Baseline,four weeks and Twelve weeks.)
