No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The purpose of this study is to assess the extent to which a non-invasive, palpatory neuromodulatory protocol on the trigeminal nerve endings on the face can affect tenderness felt on the posterior neck musculature, using the Isotouch pressure sensor system.

Specific Aim 1: Subjects will see a decrease in tenderness in the posterior neck musculature.

Specific Aim 2: Subjects will show a decrease in tenderness on the trigeminal tender points found on the face.

Conditions

  • Neuromodulation
  • Neck Pain

Interventions

OTHER

neuromodulation
