Официальное название
Comparison of Chiropractic Diversified Technique and Drop Table Application in Patients With Neck Pain
Обзор
This study aims to compare the effects of two different chiropractic techniques, Diversified and Drop Table, on pain levels, cervical joint range of motion, and neck muscle strength in individuals with non-specific neck pain.
Подробное описание
This randomized controlled trial aims to compare the effectiveness of two chiropractic techniques - the Diversified Technique and the Drop Table Technique - in individuals with mechanical neck pain. Mechanical neck pain is a common musculoskeletal condition associated with impaired cervical mobility, pain, and reduced quality of life.
Participants will be randomly assigned to one of three arms: (1) Diversified Technique group, (2) Drop Table Technique group, and (3) control group with no intervention. The interventions will be administered twice per week for four weeks by a chiropractor following standardized protocols. All participants will undergo evaluations at baseline and at the end of the 4-week intervention period.
The primary outcome measure is pain intensity and quality, assessed using the full version of the McGill Pain Questionnaire (MPQ), which evaluates sensory, affective, and evaluative components of pain. Secondary outcomes include cervical range of motion (CROM) and isometric neck muscle strength, measured with a goniometer and handheld dynamometer, respectively.
This study seeks to provide evidence on the comparative clinical effectiveness of two widely used chiropractic techniques for neck pain management. The findings may guide clinicians in selecting appropriate manual therapy approaches for patients with non-specific mechanical neck pain.
Вмешательства
- Другое Drop Table Technique
The Drop Table Technique is a chiropractic intervention that utilizes a segmented treatment table with adjustable sections that can be elevated slightly and then dropped. During the procedure, a high-velocity, low-amplitude (HVLA) thrust is applied while the specific segment of the table drops slightly in coordination with the thrust. This technique aims to reduce the resistance experienced during the adjustment and to enhance the mechanical effect on targeted spinal joints. In this study, th - Другое Cervical Spine Manipulation
Cervical spinal manipulation (SM) will be applied with the participant supine to restrictions found on motion palpation, following the technique described by Bergmann and Peterson. The participant's head and neck will be simultaneously rotated and laterally flexed over the contact point-specifically, the posterior supramastoid groove or zygomatic arch (C0-C1), the posterior aspect of the transverse process (C1-C2), or the posterior articular pillar of superior vertebrae (C2-C7)-to the end of pas
