简要总结
This study aimed to investigate the effects of myofascial release therapy (MRT) for improving pressure pain thresholds (PPTs), range of motion and pain in patients with mechanical neck pain (NP).
详细描述
Fifty-four participants with NP were randomly allocated to either an MRT (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), range of motion and (CROM) 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 intensity of cervical pain(Eight weeks)
- Active cervical range of motion(Baseline, four weeks and eight weeks)
- Pressure pain thresholds in cervical trigger points(Baseline, four weeks and eight weeks)
