Active Intervention for Patients With Neck Pain

Study Description
Brief Summary:
Neck pain is a complex biopsychosocial disorder often precipitated or aggravated by neck movements or sustained neck postures. More than 80 % of individuals experience neck pain and neck associated disorders. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of a 4-week active exercising program in patients with chronic neck pain.

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
Neck Pain Other: Active exercising Not Applicable

Detailed Description:
While neck pain can be severely disabling and costly, treatment options have shown moderate evidence of effectiveness. The optimal physiotherapy intervention is currently unclear. Consequently, more research in this area combining different techniques in patients with a specific clinical profile is needed. It has been previously shown that participants prefer self-care measures for the management of neck pain. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of a 4-week active exercising program in patients with chronic neck pain.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Changes in number of active trigger points [ Time Frame: Changes from baseline to 4 weeks in the number of active trigger points assessed by palpation. The percentage of active trigger points is obtained. ]
    Baseline, 4 weeks


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Severity of pain [ Time Frame: Changes from baseline to 4 weeks in the severity of pain assessed using the Brief Pain Inventory. The severity and the interference of pain with daily life subscales were included. Score is the sum of the items divided by the number of items. ]
    Baseline, 4 weeks

  2. Functionality [ Time Frame: Changes from baseline to 4 weeks on functionality assessed using the Neck Outcome Score.Symptoms, sleep disturbance, every day activity and pain and participation in everyday life subscales were included. They Ranged from 0 to 100 (no simptoms). ]
    Baseline, 4 weeks

Criteria

Inclusion Criteria:
