Summary

This study aim to investigate the effects of physium therapy for improving pressure pain thresholds (PPTs), range of motion,Neck Disability Index, the multidimensional health related quality of life (SF-12) and the multidimensional health related quality of life and pain in patients with mechanical neck pain (NP).

Conditions

  • Cervical Syndrome

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Physiotherapy treatment with physium device.

This group will treated five times with the analgesic program of physium therapy. Each maneuver was performed once per session by slow and progressive. The whole procedure lasted no more than 45 minutes.

PROCEDURE

Conventional physiotherapy treatmen

The PT group will treated during two weeks (ten days/week) with ultrasound therapy (US), transcutaneous electric nerve stimulation (TENS) and massage, in this order. Ultrasound will applied in pulse mode at an intensity of 1 megahertz for 10 minutes in the sub-occipital region and the vicinity of the trapezius muscles. TENS will applied with a pulse duration of 250 microseconds at a frequency of 80 Hertz for 20 minutes in the sub-occipital region and the trapezoids. Deep massage was applied at a slow speed for 20 minutes using sliding neutral creams. Massage therapy included gliding and kneading techniques applied over trapezius (upper, lower and middle fibers), splenius capitis and levator scapulae muscles with a therapeutic intention.
