简要总结
This study is a randomized controlled trial and the purpose of the study is to determine the effects of reverse NAGs as compared to Ventro-cranial Translatoric Glides in upper thoracic spine hypomobility in terms of pain and range of motion.
详细描述
OBJECTIVES:
The objectives of this study are :
- To determine the effects of reverse NAGs as compared to ventrocranial translatoric glide on UPPER BACK PAIN in upper thoracic spine hypomobility.
- To determine the effects of reverse NAGs as compared to ventrocranial translatoric glide on THORACIC ROM in upper thoracic spine hypomobility.

研究组 & 干预措施
Control
Control Group (B):
3-4 treatment sessions per week (for 2 weeks)
- TENS and Hot pack for 20 minutes.
- Grade III Ventro-Cranial Translatoric Glides at level T1-T4 The mobilization will be applied and sustained for 30-40 seconds and will be continued for 10-15 minutes in a cyclic manner.
干预措施: Grade III Ventro-Cranial Translatoric Glides(standard protocol) (Procedure)
Interventional Group
Study Group (A):
3-4 treatment sessions per week (for 2 weeks)
- TENS and Hot pack for 20 minutes.
- Reverse NAGs at level T1-T4 In these type of mobilization, the inferior facet glides up on the superior. The mobilizations are repeated <6 times and then movements are reassessed. If no change occurs, the process will be repeated upto 10 minutes with resting period.
干预措施: Reverse NAGS(experimental) (Procedure)
结局指标
主要结局
Thoracic Pain
时间窗: Variable will be assessed at pre and post treatment for the total interval of 2 weeks.
It will be measured using numeric pain rating scale (NPRS) in which the subjects select a number ranging from 0-10 according to their intensity of pain. '0' score indicates no pain while '10' indicates worst pain experienced.
Range of Motion
时间窗: Variable will be assessed at pre and post treatment for the total interval of 2 weeks.
Range of motion will be measured using inclinometer. It will be used to measure range of motion of flexion, extension and lateral flexion on both right and left side on thoracic spine.
