简要总结
The aim of this randomized-controlled study was to determine the effectiveness of neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) applied simultaneously to exercise on pain, static endurance of cervical deep flexor muscles, fear of movement and disability in chronic neck pain. The participants were randomly assigned to one group which in only five clinical pilates exercises were performed (Group I) or the other group which NMES was applied on lower trapezius and serratus anterior muscles while the same exercises were performing (Group II).
详细描述
The aim of randomized-controlled study was to determine the effectiveness of neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) applied simultaneously to exercise on pain, static endurance of cervical deep flexor muscles, fear of movement and disability in chronic neck pain. This study, including adults with chronic neck pain aged between 18-65 years, was conducted in laboratory of xxx University from March 2021 to May 2021. The participants were randomly assigned to one group which in only five clinical pilates exercises were performed (Group I) or the other group which NMES was applied on lower trapezius and serratus anterior muscles while the same exercises were performing (Group II). Both groups received 20 minutes of treatment session two days a week for the 8 weeks. The pain intensity, range of motion (ROM), static endurance of cervical deep flexor muscles, fear of movement, and neck disability were assessed with Visual Analogue (VAS), universal goniometer, The Deep Neck Flexor (DNF) Endurance Test, Tampa Scale of Kinesiophobia (TSK) and Neck Disability Index (NDI), respectively. All the assessments were performed twice as before and end of the treatment.

结局指标
主要结局
Neck disability
时间窗: at the end of the invervention program (8 weeks after from baseline)
The Neck Disability Index consisted 10 questions investigating the pain intensity and difficulty in lifting, reading, concentration, working, sleeping and recreational activities. Each question is scoring from 0 to 5 and higher score means greater disability.
次要结局
- Pain intensity(at the end of the invervention program (8 weeks after from baseline))
- Range of Motion(at the end of the invervention program (8 weeks after from baseline))
- Static endurance of cervical deep flexor muscles(at the end of the invervention program (8 weeks after from baseline))
- Fear of the movement(at the end of the invervention program (8 weeks after from baseline))
