简要总结
The purpose of this study is to determine whether scapular stabilization exercises can help breastfeeding women with non-specific neck pain by reducing their neck pain, cervical range of motion, and neck disability index.
详细描述
The best infant feeding practice is breastfeeding, which has both immediate and long-term advantages for mothers, babies, the environment, the economy, and society as a whole. Mothers who are nursing frequently experience neck pain. Because the scapula and neck are closely related, scapular stabilization is becoming more and more popular for patients with neck pain.

结局指标
主要结局
functional neck disability
时间窗: at beginning of the study and after four weeks of treatment
The Arabic version of the Neck Disability Index Questionnaire (NDI) is used to assess the functional neck disability. It consists of 10 items; each item scores from 0 to 5, where a score of 0 indicates no limitation and a score of 5 indicates maximum limitation.
neck pain intensity
时间窗: at beginning of the study and after four weeks of treatment
The Visual Analog Scale VAS was used to assess neck pain intensity for both groups at the beginning of the study and after four weeks of treatment. It is a 10 cm line. 0 means no paint and 10 means maximum pain and the patient chooses a point on the line which reflects the pain
次要结局
- pressure pain threshold(at beginning of the study and after four weeks of treatment)
- cervical range of motion(at beginning of the study and after four weeks of treatment)
