简要总结
This study aim to investigate the effects of physium therapy 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 physium therapy (five sessions) or a physical therapy (PT) groups (ten sessions) during two weeks. Multimodal PT program included: ultrasound therapy (US), transcutaneous electric nerve stimulation (TENS) and massage. 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 multidimensional health related quality of life(Baseline and four weeks)
- The intensity of cervical pain(Four weeks)
- Active cervical range of motion(Baseline and four weeks.)
- Pressure pain thresholds in cervical trigger points(Baseline and four weeks)
- This questionnaire has been designed to give us information as to how your neck pain has affected your ability to manage in everyday life.(Baseline and four weeks.)
