Eksperimentel: Low-intensity Laser Therapy Group
Low-intensity Laser Therapy + Conventional Physiotherapy
|
Low-dose laser therapy was administered twice a week for a total of 10 sessions using a Chattanoga Advance device, at a power of 100 mW and an energy dose of 4 J/cm², with each trigger point receiving treatment plus four additional points marked with a cross (Legouté et al. 2019).
Andre navne:
Conventional physiotherapy involved traditional heat therapy, pain-relieving electrical stimulation and neck exercises.

|
Eksperimentel: Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation Group
Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation Technique + + Conventional Physiotherapy
|
Conventional physiotherapy involved traditional heat therapy, pain-relieving electrical stimulation and neck exercises.
Stretching and strengthening exercises were performed twice a week for a total of 10 sessions on the scalene, sternocleidomastoid, trapezius, pectoralis major, pectoralis minor, intercostal and serratus anterior muscles, and three times a week for 10 minutes (including the neck extensors).
The specific method involved the 'hold-release' technique for 10 repetitions of PNF stretching and the maximum isometric contraction technique for strengthening (Liu et al. 2021; Cruz-Montecinos et al. 2017).

Foranstaltningsbeskrivelse |
Tidsramme |
|---|---|---|
|
Numerical Pain Scale
Tidsramme: at baseline and week 5
|
It was used to assess neck pain.
Pain is assessed using a rating scale of 1-10.
Higher scores indicate more severe pain.

Foranstaltningsbeskrivelse |
Tidsramme |
|---|---|---|
|
Pressure-Pain Threshold Measurement
Tidsramme: at baseline and week 5
|
A manual algometer was used to assess the pain threshold.
The pain threshold increases as the amount of pressure applied increases in kilograms.
|
at baseline and week 5
|
|
The Neck Bournemouth Questionnaire
Tidsramme: at baseline and week 5
|
The study was used to assess the severity of neck pain, functional limitations, and biopsychosocial factors.
This indicates that neck pain has a greater impact on the person's life (high level of limitation/pain).
|
at baseline and week 5
|
|
The Neck Disability Index
Tidsramme: at baseline and week 5
|
It was used to examine disability.
An increase in the score means an increase in disability.
