Brief Summary

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

This study compares two treatment techniques, cervical spinal manipulation (CSM) and visceral osteopathy (VO), in patients with mechanical neck pain (MNP). The aim of the study was to evaluate the effects of these treatments on pain levels, neck mobility, and muscle strength in both the neck and upper extremities.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The purpose of this study is to compare the acute effects of cervical spinal manipulation (CSM) treatment and visceral osteopathy (VO) techniques on pain, cervical range of motion (ROM), muscle strength, and grip strength in individuals with mechanical neck pain (MNP).

The study is going to include a total of 30 subjects aged 18-60 diagnosed with MNP. The subjects are randomly divided into two groups. The CSM group received high-velocity, low-amplitude (HVLA) spinal manipulation, while the other group underwent VO techniques. Each treatment technique is going to be applied in only one session. Pain intensity is assessed using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS). Cervical ROM and the craniovertebral angle (CVA) are evaluated using a goniometer. Neck and elbow muscle strength are measured with a hand-held dynamometer, and grip strength is assessed using a hand-grip dynamometer.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Cervical Spinal Manipulation (CSM)

This arm includes participants who receive a single session of high-velocity, low-amplitude spinal manipulation aimed at reducing pain and improving cervical range of motion and muscle strength in individuals with mechanical neck pain. The intervention is administered by a qualified physiotherapist, following established protocols for cervical spinal manipulation.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Chiropractic

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

high speed low amplitude neck manipulation

Visceral Osteopathy

Participants in this arm undergo a single session of visceral osteopathy techniques focused on improving pain and functional outcomes in individuals with mechanical neck pain. The VO techniques are designed to enhance mobility and alleviate discomfort through manipulation of the viscera and associated structures, performed by a trained osteopath.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Osteopathy

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

the stomach and liver technique was applied
