Effects of Pain, Disability and Cervicokinesthesia After Cervical Manipulation

NCT02645630 · Status: COMPLETED · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 55

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Cervical spine manipulation has been found to be effective in patients with mechanical neck pain. Discrepancies exist on the side of manipulation and the placebo effect of this manual intervention. In addition, some authors have proposed that spinal manipulation can alter proprioception of the cervical spine. The aim of this study will be to investigate the effects of cervical spine manipulation on pain, disability, widespread pressure pain sensitivity, and cervicokinethesia in patients with mechanical neck pain.

Conditions

  • Neck Pain

Interventions

OTHER

Right Cervical Manipulation

We will use a high-velocity, mid-range, left rotational force to the right articular pillar of C3, on the right articular pillar of C4 with the patient in supine, with left rotation and right side-bending.

OTHER

Left Cervical Manipulation

We will use a high-velocity, mid-range, left rotational force to the left articular pillar of C3, on the left articular pillar of C4 with the patient in supine, with right rotation and left side-bending.

OTHER

Sham Cervical Manipulation

The sham procedure will simulate C3/C4 manipulation in both sides without any therapeutic thrust
