简要总结
A Quasi-experimental study will investigate the effect of dry cupping massage versus myofascial release on patients with mechanical neck pain.
详细描述
PURPOSE: To investigate the effect of dry cupping massage versus myofascial release on pain level, range of motion, and functional level in mechanical neck pain...
BACKGROUND: Neck pain is a multivariate disease and is a leading issue in a modernized society. The economic burden of neck pain is remarkable and includes treatment costs, reduced productivity, and job-related problems (Cohen, 2015).
There is no one definitive treatment for neck pain. However, different pharmacological and non-pharmacological treatments have been recommended, including laser therapy, massage, acupuncture, yoga, and aquatic therapy (Corvillo et al., 2020). However, no studies are focusing on comparing the effect of dynamic cupping and myofascial release in mechanical neck pain.
HYPOTHESES: There will be a non-significant difference between dry cupping massage and myofascial release on pain level, range of motion, and functional level in patients with mechanical neck pain...
RESEARCH QUESTION: Will there be a difference between dry cupping massage versus myofascial release on pain level, range of motion, and functional level in patients with mechanical neck pain?
