No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Objectives: To evaluate the clinical efficacy of using a manual inhibition technique for the suboccipital muscles compared with the use of the so-called INYBI tool in individuals with chronic non-specific neck pain, and the compare the results of using both approaches on pain relief, cervical range of motion neck and vertical maximum mouth opening.

Design: Quantitative, experimental, longitudinal, prospective, and double blinded study.

Subjects: Patients between 18 and 40 years, with chronic non-specific neck pain of at least 3 months of evolution.

Methods: The experimental group will undergo a 5 minutes intervention for the suboccipital muscles using the INYBI tool. The control group will receive a 5 minutes of treatment involving the suboccipital muscles manual inhibition technique.

Conditions

  • Neck Pain

Interventions

DEVICE

INYBI tool

Patients will lie down in supine position so that the INYBI tool will contact the suboccipital muscles at the posterior arch of the atlas. The therapist will adapt the height of the tool for each individual. All patients will use the softest head of the device. A 50Hz vibration speed will be set sup during 5 minutes.

OTHER

Manual suboccipital inhibition

Patients will lie down in supine position.The therapist will be seated at the head of the treatment table. The therapist will keep the metacarpophalangeal joints in a flexed position, while therapists fingertips of both hands will contact with the suboccipital muscles at the posterior arch of the atlas.
