Over Time

Background. We need to understand more about how DNF performs in different contexts and whether it affects the pain threshold over myofascial trigger points (MTrPs). Purpose. The objectives were to investigate the effect of neck muscles training on disability and pain and on pain threshold over MTrPs in people with chronic neck pain. Methods. Patients with chronic neck pain were eligible for participation with a Neck Disability Index (NDI) score of over 5/50 and having at least one MTrP on either levator scapulae, upper trapezoid, or splenius capitis muscle. Patients were randomly assigned into either DNF training, superficial neck muscle exercise, or advice group. Generalized linear model (GLM) was used to detect differences in treatment groups over time. Results. Out of 67 participants, 60 (47 females, mean age: 39.45 ± 12.67) completed the study. Neck disability and neck pain were improved over time between and within groups (p<0.05). However, no differences were found within and between the therapeutic groups (p<0.05) in the tested muscles’ PPTs and in cervicothoracic angle over a 7-week period. Conclusion. All three groups improved over time. This infers that the pain pathways involved in the neck pain relief are not those involved in pain threshold.

Objective To investigate the differences of spinal curvature, thoracic sagittal mobility, and respiratory strength between patients with chronic neck pain (CNP) and people without cervical pain, and to determine the correlation between respiratory strength and thoracic mobility in CNP patients.Methods A total of 78 participants were finally included in this study, of whom 30 had no cervical pain and 48 had CNP. The Neck Disability Index (NDI), cervical lordotic curvature, thoracic kyphotic curvature, thoracic sagittal range of motion (ROM), maximal inspiratory pressure (MIP), and maximal expiratory pressure (MEP) were measured and analyzed.Results In males, thoracic sagittal ROM<sub>MEP-MIP</sub> and MEP showed a significant difference between the no cervical pain group and the CNP group. In females, thoracic kyphotic curvature, thoracic sagittal ROM<sub>MEP-MIP</sub>, MIP, and MEP were significantly different between the no cervical pain group and the CNP group. Thoracic kyphotic curvature was significantly correlated with MEP and MIP in all population groups, and significantly correlated with NDI in the female group. Thoracic sagittal ROM<sub>MEP-MIP</sub> had a significant linear relationship with NDI, MEP, and MIP in all population groups.Conclusion The thoracic mobility during forced respiration was reduced in patients with CNP and was correlated with respiratory strength. Changes in the biomechanics of the cervicothoracic spine and rib cage due to CNP may contribute to impairment of respiratory strength.

Background: Neck pain is one of the major problems managed by chiropractors, therefore its common the use of spinal manipulation to manage this problem.   Objective: To evaluate the influence of Cervical Spine Manipulation (CSM) in the Neck Disability Index (NDI) of patients with chronic neck pain compared to a manipulative sham group. Method: 15 patients with chronic neck pain, were randomly assigned into one of two groups. Experimental Group (EG), with 8 patients, mean age of 30.6(13.7) years and Sham Group (SG), with 7 patients, mean age of 38.9(17.0) years. All the patients signed a Voluntary Informed Consent Document, approved by the university’s research ethics committee (n°555.015). The NDI was used to evaluate the outcome. The EG intervention was the CSM, performed 4 times, along a mean of 39.2 days. The SG was subjected to a similar cervical manipulative sensory experience, also performed 4 times, along a mean of 30.6 days. Paired and unpaired Student’s t-test was used to assess intra and inter group differences, respectively. Results: Statistically significant differences (p=0.000) were found for NDI between the pre and post-treatment evaluations of both the EG (26.3(5.0) % pre; 10.9(7.1) % post) and the SG (30.1(3.7) % pre; 18.4(5.3) % post). There were no significant differences for NDI in the pre-treatment between groups (p=0.122), however statistically significant differences were found in the post-treatment between the EG and the SG (p=0.039). Conclusion: The result shows that after the treatment period both groups showed improvement for NDI, however the CSM in the EG resulted in an improved outcome in the treatment of patients with chronic neck pain.
