Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study is to determine the immediate effect of the suboccipital release technique on trapezius muscle pain threshold, muscle activation, and anxiety level in individuals with anxiety.Thirty-six people with anxiety symptoms were included in the study. These people were divided into two groups, 18 control group and 18 treatment group. Upper trapezius muscle pain threshold, muscle activation and anxiety levels were evaluated. The experimental group received a single session of suboccipital release technique. The control group received a single session of sham suboccipital release. The evaluations were performed before and immediately after the treatment.The suboccipital release technique can increase the trapezius muscle upper part pain threshold and concentric muscle activation immediately after the application in individuals with anxiety.

Suboccipital Release Group

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Suboccipital Release Technique

Intervention Type OTHER

The suboccipital release technique was applied to the participants in the experimental group by an experienced practitioner who had received osteopathy training. The individual lay in the supine position, and the practitioner applied the relaxation technique by placing his hands on the patient's nape-atlantooccipital joint. The application was continued until the relaxation of the muscles under the hand of the practitioner.

Control Group

Group Type SHAM_COMPARATOR

Sham Suboccipital Release

Intervention Type OTHER

The participants in the control group were given a sham application by touching the hands of the therapist on the nape of the neck and waiting for a while.
