NCT05782621 · Status: UNKNOWN · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 45

Last updated 2023-03-23

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

this study will be conducted to compare the effect of Acupoint focused ultrasound and Laser puncture on pain intensity level, neck range of motion, and neck function in patient with chronic mechanical neck pain

Conditions

  • Neck Pain

Interventions

OTHER

Acupoint focused ultrasound

An ultrasound beam is normally pulsed in the ratio of 1:5. For perfect transmission of power from the treatment head to the body, the head will be applied perpendicularly to the skin surface. A stationary technique pulsed ultrasound (1 w/cm2) will be used. The application will be two minutes for each acupuncture point and the head will be glided to the next point in the same side; then to the other side for no more than 10 points, then the device will be turned off

OTHER

Laserpuncture

The laser tip (0.03 cm2 of beam area) will be positioned with the "probe" head directly on the acupuncture point, in a perpendicular position and in direct contact with the skin, and every point will be treated for 2 min, totaling 16 min of treatment, plus 4 min of rest, to standardize with the traditional acupuncture time, which is 20 min

OTHER

conventional treatment

the patients will receive selective neck strengthening ex for (extension, flexion, sidebending, lateral rotation) and selective neck stretching ex for (extension, flexion, sidebending, lateral rotation)
