简要总结
The purpose of this study will determine the effect of muscle energy technique versus mulligan technique on neck pain in breastfeeding women.
详细描述
Conservative treatments used to manage neck pain are numerous and include usual medical care ( face to face interview, education, reassurance, medication, ergonomic and stay active advice), various forms of exercise, massage, and acupuncture among others, but a lack of evidence regarding their relative efficacy was found.
More research is needed to determine specific exercise programs that can decrease neck pain in breastfeeding women. So, this study will be conducted to determine clinical evidence of the effectiveness of muscle energy technique versus mulligan technique on neck pain, which constituted a great problem facing the mother during the breastfeeding period.

入选标准
- •Patients will be examined by a physician before the study and will be chosen according to the following criteria:
- •All patients will be in the breastfeeding period at least 6 weeks after delivery.
- •All patients will be clinically diagnosed with neck pain (with no neurological or rheumatological problem).
- •Their ages will range from 25-35years.
- •Their BMI will be less than 30 kg/m².
- •Their parity will not be more than 3 times.
排除标准
- •The patients will be excluded if they have any of the followings:
- •Any contraindication to spinal mobilization (e.g., inflammation, infection, advanced degeneration, congenital malformation, trauma, cerebrovascular abnormalities).
- •Positive neurological examination (presence of positive motor reflex, or sensory abnormalities indicating spinal root compression).
- •Cervical spine surgery or stenosis, metabolic or systemic disorder, or cancer.
- •Associated pathology of the upper cervical region or upper limb that may cause overlapping with the clinical finding as referred pain from the costotransverse joint, rotator cuff tendonitis, and cervical rib syndrome.
结局指标
主要结局
Assessing the change in Cervical pain level
时间窗: Baseline and 4 weeks post-intervention
Assessment via using Visual Analogue Scale that continuous data analysis and uses a 10 cm long with 0 (no pain) and 10 (worst pain). Patient will be asked to place a mark along the line to denote their level of pain.
Assessing the change in Functional disability
时间窗: Baseline and 4 weeks post-intervention
Assessment via using Neck pain disability index questionnaire consists of 10 items each of them is scored from 0 to 5. The total maximum score is therefore 50.The original report provided scoring interval for interpretation, as; (0-4) = no disability, (5-14) mild, (15-24) moderate, (25-34) sever, (above34) complete disability.
Assessing the change in Cervical Range Of Motion
时间窗: Baseline and 4 weeks post-intervention
Assessment via using Digital goniometer is valid and has good reliability for measuring cervical spine range of motion.
