简要总结
This study evaluates whether adding osteopathic treatment to standard physical therapy improves outcomes in adults with nonspecific neck pain. Forty participants are randomly assigned to two groups: one group receives osteopathic techniques (myofascial release, trigger point therapy, craniosacral osteopathy, visceral osteopathy, osteopathic manipulation, and harmonic mobilization) in addition to standard physical therapy (TENS, infrared, and exercise), while the other group receives only standard physical therapy. All participants attend four weekly sessions. Pain, function, quality of life, muscle strength, and cervical range of motion are assessed before and after treatment. The outcomes assessor is blinded to group allocation. This study aims to determine whether osteopathic interventions provide additional benefits over standard physical therapy.

结局指标
主要结局
Pain Intensity
时间窗: Baseline and immediately after 4 weekly treatment sessions (4 weeks total)
Outcome Measure: Pain Intensity Time Frame: Baseline and after 4 weeks (post-intervention) Description: Change in pain level measured using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS) in participants with nonspecific neck pain. The Visual Analog Scale (VAS), a 0-10 scale where 0 indicates no pain and 10 indicates the worst possible pain.
