physium therapy

Details and patient eligibility

About

This study aim to investigate the effects of physium therapy for improving pressure pain thresholds (PPTs), range of motion,Neck Disability Index, the multidimensional health related quality of life (SF-12) and the multidimensional health related quality of life and pain in patients with mechanical neck pain (NP).

Full description

Fifty-four participants with NP will randomly allocated to either an physium therapy (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), Neck Disability Index ( NDI), range of motion and (CROM), Questionnaire SF-12 and 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.
