Detailed Description
Acute neck pain is often caused by mechanical causes and can be classified as rheumatic diseases, infectious and tumoral pathologies, metabolic bone diseases such as osteoporosis and osteomalacia, pain reflected the cervical region. A-V malformation and syringomyelia are the causes of chronic cervical pain (5). Mechanical neck pain is a non-radicular pain caused by local musculoskeletal structures and is characterized by a spasm of the cervical muscles. (6, 7). Posture, emotional stress, cold and fatigue are etiologic causes, and pain is also reflected in the cervical, occipital and scapular regions depending on the severity of muscle spasm and the presence of trigger point in myofascial pain syndrome (9, 10). Many authors have suggested that facet joints are associated with mechanical dysfunction as a common cause of cervical pain (8-10).
The pain in the head and neck region affects the quality of life, cognitive and functional status of the person. The most important difficulty and failure in the treatment of such pain arise from the inability to diagnose the disease correctly. Good anatomical and biomechanical properties of the region, comprehensive anamnesis, physical examination under static and dynamic conditions, laboratory and radiological examinations are the most important milestones of diagnosis (12). In most cases, medical treatment and physical therapy modalities (superficial and deep heat, electrotherapy, laser, traction, massage, spa) are sufficient for pain relief and recovery of function, but interventional procedures and surgical procedures are needed for the fewer patient. Recently, spinal mobilization and manipulation techniques can be used to relieve pain and restore function in the early stages. Although it is a safe method, in order to prevent the rare complications it is necessary to determine the indications of treatment correctly, to exclude contiguous cases and to apply the manipulation by experts (12).

Arms and Interventions
Participant Group / Arm |
Intervention / Treatment |
---|---|
Experimental: Intervention Group
A single-session manipulation with a high-speed low-amplitude thrust technique in the cervicothoracic transition region will be applied each week for two weeks.
|
The patient will be positioned in a supine position with arms crossed over over the trunk and holding the shoulders.
The therapist will place a stabilizing hand over transverse process of T1 in pistol grip and contacted patients elbow with sternum and patient will be asked do a hip bridge while taking a deep breath than exhale.
Thrust manipulation will be applied at the end of exhale.
|
Sham Comparator: Control Group
A sham manipulation without a high-speed low-amplitude thrust technique in the cervicothoracic transition region will be applied.
|
The patient will be positioned in a supine position with arms crossed over over the trunk and holding the shoulders.
The therapist will place a stabilizing hand over transverse process of T1 in pistol grip and contacted patients elbow with sternum and patient will be asked do a hip bridge while taking a deep breath than exhale.
A soft compression will be applied at the end of exhale without a thrust.

What is the study measuring?
Primary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Pain pressure threshold
Time Frame: two weeks
|
Pain pressure threshold (PPT).
was assessed with an analogue algometry (Baseline, FEl Inc. White Plains, NY,USA) with 1 cm2 rubber tip was used to measure the pain pressure threshold.
Algometer perpendicularly placed over spinous process of T1 on prone position and pressure progressively increased 1 kg/s until patients verbally reported pain under the tip of algometer or referring pain.
Measurement repeated three times and average score recorded.

Secondary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Visual analog scale
Time Frame: two weeks
|
The patient was asked to mark the severity of his or her pain with active motion on a horizontal line 100 millimeters in length.
The intensity of the pain was calculated by measuring the area in which the individual marked between 0 (no pain) and 10 (the most severe pain I felt in my life).
|
two weeks
|
Neck Disability Index
Time Frame: two weeks
|
Perceived disability of patients was assessed with 10-item item Neck Disability Index (NDI),which a modified from Oswestry Low Back Pain Disability Index to assess with a score range of 0 to 50.
|
two weeks
|
Global Perceived Effect Scale
Time Frame: two weeks
|
Change in the perception of the symptoms after the treatment was measured by a Global Perceived Effect Scale.
Patients were asked to rate change between 1 completely recovered, 4 unchanged, 7 vastly worse on a horizontal likert scale.
|
two weeks
|
Cervical range of motion
Time Frame: two weeks
|
Cervical Range of Motion (ROM) of flexion,extension, lateral flexion and rotation were measured with basic cervical ROM device (Performance Attainment, Associates, St Paul, MN, USA) in seated position without back support.
|
two weeks
