Effect of Audible Manipulation Sound in Non-specific Cervicothoracic Pain

Effect of Audible Manipulation Sound on Perceived Pain, Satisfaction and Disability in Non-specific Cervicothoracic Pain

The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of auditory manipulation sound on perceived pain, satisfaction and disability in patients with nonspecific cervicothoracic pain.İndividuals with nonspecific cervicothoracic pain will be included. the first group will be determined as those with an audible sound at the end of manipulation, and the second group will be determined as those without an audible sound at the end of manipulation. all evaluations and the patient's satisfaction level will be made before the application and 48 hours after the application.

Study Overview

• Status: Active, not recruiting
• Conditions: Pain; Disability
• Intervention / Treatment: Other: manipulation with classical massage and spinal manipulation technique

Detailed Description

Before the application, the pain intensity of the individuals will be assessed with a visual analog scale, and the level of disability will be assessed with the 'neck pain and disability index'. neck mobility will be measured with a cervical inclinometer and spinal region fascia mobility modified schober test, and also the thoracolumbar fascia flexibility will be recorded. .
