简要总结
No studies have investigated the effects of a Sciatic nerve mobilization in subjects with neck pain. This study aims to determine the immediate effects of a lower limbs neural mobilization on cervical range of motion and on the perception of pain in the most common trigger points located in the cervical musculature.
详细描述
A convenience sample will be used to obtain subjects The subjects will be recruited through posted advertisements on social networks. The inclusion and exclusion criteria will be applied to the volunteers. The sample wil comprise university students and administrative workers with neck pain. The subjects will be screened by a screening questionnaire and all of them, they will be required to sign an inform consent before participating to the study. After signing it, they will be randomly divide into control group subject to a placebo technique and the intervention group subject to an active mobilization of the sciatic nerve.
To assess changes in cervical articular range, will be used, a cervical goniometer (CROM) and for changes in pressure pain threshold of the trigger points will be used a mechanical algometer. Furthermore, to asses changes in pain perception will be used a visual numerical scale. The statistical analysis will be performed using the statistical program SPSS 25.0, comparing the results between both groups.

研究组 & 干预措施
Active neck mobilization
The subjects, who were randomly allocated to group active neurodynamic mobilization group, will receive the active sciatic nerve mobilization intervention. The subject will be instructed to do a a modification of the slump. The procedure will be performed 1 minute with each leg, two times, the subjects will rest one minute between each mobilization and between series.
干预措施: Active neck mobilization (Other)
Active Mobilization of the Sciatic nerve
The subjects, who were randomly allocated to group active neurodynamic mobilization group, will receive the active sciatic nerve mobilization intervention. The subject will be instructed to do a a modification of the slump. The procedure will be performed 1 minute with each leg, two times, the subjects will rest one minute between each mobilization and between series.

结局指标
主要结局
Pain level at rest
时间窗: Change from baseline in Visual Analog Scale at 2 minutes after intervention
A Visual Analog Scale, will be used for recording level of pain at rest. The VAS evaluates levels of pain intensity using an 10-point scale (range 0-10), with 0 being classified as "no sensation" and 10 "pain as bad as could be".
次要结局
- Cervical Range of Motion (CROM)(Before intervention and 2 minutes after)
- The Neck Disability Index, Spanish version(Before intervention)
- Vernier caliper(Before intervention and 2 minutes after)
- Mechanical pressure Algometer(Before intervention and 2 minutes after)
- Hours of daily use of display screens(Before intervention)
