Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Group TENS
Experimental group 1 will undergo a physiotherapy treatment based on TENS-type analgesic currents and application of massage therapy for neck pain.
Electrotherapy-Transcutaneous Electrical Stimulation (TENS)
Ten electrotherapy sessions lasting 30 minutes were carried out. Analgesic currents of the TENS type, placed in the cervical region.
Massage therapy
Ten massage therapy sessions lasting 20 minutes each were carried out. Techniques such as superficial rubbing, deep rubbing, kneading and gliding pressure were performed on the cervical region.
Ischaemic Compression Technique
Ten Ischaemic Compression Technique sessions. The execution of the technique is described as follows: after locating a painful point (trigger point), pressure is applied until pain is generated, then a position is sought where the pain disappears, the position of maximum comfort, which is maintained for 90 seconds (sec), after which time the patient is returned to the starting position in a passive manner.
Group STRECHING
Experimental group 2 will undergo a physiotherapy treatment based on stretching and the application of massage therapy therapy for neck pain.
Massage therapy
Ten massage therapy sessions lasting 20 minutes each were carried out. Techniques such as superficial rubbing, deep rubbing, kneading and gliding pressure were performed on the cervical region.
Stretching exercises
Ten stretching exercise sessions.The stretching exercise modality performed consisted of passive static stretching with a sequence of 30s-10s-30s-10s.
Ischaemic Compression Technique
Ten Ischaemic Compression Technique sessions. The execution of the technique is described as follows: after locating a painful point (trigger point), pressure is applied until pain is generated, then a position is sought where the pain disappears, the position of maximum comfort, which is maintained for 90 seconds (sec), after which time the patient is returned to the starting position in a passive manner.
Control Group
The control group will not undergo any physiotherapy treatment therapy for neck pain.
No interventions assigned to this group
