简要总结
Myofacial neck pain is a common musculoskeletal problem caused by presence of trigger points and local and referred pain patterns. Chronic neck pain is responsible for the involvement of joints, ligaments, fascia and connective tissue as well. The objective of this study was to assess the impacts of Maitland's mobilization in patients with myofacial chronic neck pain. Maitland's mobilization is one of the most common manual therapy approaches used by physiotherapists. Maitland's techniques involve the application of passive and accessory oscillatory movements to spinal and vertebral joints to treat pain and stiffness.
In this randomized, placebo treatment controlled trial, 30 patients consecutively aged 25-45 years meeting inclusion criteria were isolated into two groups. The study group was treated with Maitland's mobilization consistently for 8 weeks while the control group got placebo treatment for a similar time frame. Visual analog Scale (VAS), Neck disability index (NDI) and cervical range of motion (ROM) questionnaire was filled by patients before, intermediate and after the intervention to evaluate the severity of pain, functional ability and range of motion.

结局指标
主要结局
Visual Analogue Scale
时间窗: 2 months
Its a pain rating Scale Scoring between 0-10.O means no pain 10 means worse pain
Neck disability Index
时间窗: 2 months
Each section is scored on a 0 to 5 rating scale, in which zero means 'No pain' and 5 means 'Worst imaginable pain'.
