Download or read book Thoracic Manipulation in Adults with Mechanical Neck Pain written by Oyinade Bokime Agbeja-Akindele and published by LAP Lambert Academic Publishing. This book was released on 2014-12 with total page 104 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Neck pain is a common musculoskeletal disorder. It can be disabling, and constitutes a high health and economic burden. A large majority of neck pains are of mechanical origin. There has been a growing research interest on optimal interventions but there are no 'gold standards'. Spinal manipulation a form of manual therapy is often used in clinical practice to treat individuals with neck pain.However, in recent time manipulation applied directly to the cervical region has come under close scrutiny because of the potential risk of cervical arterial dysfunction. On the other hand, there is growing evidence for the use of thoracic spine manipulation in treating neck pain. Despite the relatively large number of randomized controlled trials carried on its effectiveness, the evidence of the effectiveness of thoracic manipulation in treating neck pain has been described as inconsistent and inconclusive. Therefore, this systematic review critically appraised, synthesized, and provides a clearer and more accurate overall assessment on the effectiveness of thoracic manipulation in reducing pain and disability in adults with mechanical neck pain.

Download or read book Muscle Pain Diagnosis and Treatment written by Siegfried Mense and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2010-07-17 with total page 370 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This edition of the companion volumes Muscle Pain: Understanding the Mech- isms and Muscle Pain: Diagnosis and Treatment is essential reading for those interested in clinical approaches to acute and chronic pain conditions involving muscle tissues and in the mechanisms underlying these conditions. The volumes cover a very important topic in pain medicine, since muscle pain is very common and can often be dif?cult to diagnose and treat effectively. Furthermore, chronic pain involving muscle and other components of the musculoskeletal system increases with age, such that it is a common complaint of those of us who are middle-aged or older. Indeed, as changing population demographics in “west- nized” countries result in higher proportions of the population living longer and being middle-aged and elderly, chronic muscle pain will likely become even more of a health problem. In the case of acute muscle pain, this can often be very intense, and in the short term can limit or modify the use of components of the musculoskeletal system associated with the sensitive muscle. Chronic muscle pain can also be intense, as well as unpleasant and disabling, and it is in many cases the over-riding symptom of most musculoskeletal disorders that are associated with long-term deleterious changes in musculoskeletal function.

This book was released on 2016 with total page 205 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The major part of the thesis involved in a randomized controlled clinical trial undertaken to investigate the effects of cervical manual therapy (mobilization and manipulation) on patients with chronic mechanical neck pain. One hundred and forty-seven patients were recruited from the Physiotherapy Department, Prince of Wales Hospital and randomized into a manual therapy (MT) group and a control (CON) group. The age range of the MT group was from 19 to 66 (mean age 46.6℗ł10.0) and that of the CON group was from 23 to 63 (mean age 45.5℗ł9.5). The patients in the MT group received manual therapy, 15-minutes of irradiation therapy (IRR) together with neck exercises listed in a neck exercise pamphlet, whereas those in the CON group only received IRR and neck exercises. All patients received 8 sessions of treatment over a 4-week interval. The outcome measures included subjective pain intensity (NPRS), neck disability (NPQ), cervical ROM, HRA and postural stability (BBS). Assessments were made by a blinded assessor at baseline, immediately post-intervention (completion of 8 sessions of treatment), 3 months and 6 months after completion of treatment. No statistically significant differences were found between the two groups in any of the outcome measures in the baseline comparison. After 8 sessions of intervention over a 4-week period, patients in the MT group had realized greater improvement than those in the CON group in cervical ROM (12.85% vs. 1.11%), HRA (25% vs. 3.32%), postural stability (BBS) (38.3% vs. 17.19%) and NPRS (38.9% vs. 10.2%) (p
