Effects of Graston Technique Versus Soft Tissue Release on Neck Pain and Range of Motion. (GT vs MSTR)
Comparative Effects of Graston Technique and Manual Soft Tissue Release on Pain and Range of Motion in Patients With Tension Neck Syndrome
This study compares two manual therapy techniques for treating tension neck syndrome: Graston Technique and Manual Soft Tissue Release. Tension neck syndrome causes neck pain, stiffness, and reduced range of motion.
Participants will be assigned to receive either Graston Technique or Manual Soft Tissue Release for a set number of sessions. Researchers will measure changes in neck pain and range of motion before and after treatment to see which technique is more effective.
The purpose is to provide evidence on the best manual therapy approach for improving neck pain and movement in patients with tension neck syndrome.

Descrizione dettagliata
Tension neck syndrome is a common musculoskeletal condition characterized by neck pain, muscle tightness, and limited cervical range of motion. Manual therapy interventions such as Graston Technique and Manual Soft Tissue Release are widely used in physiotherapy practice, but direct comparative evidence between them is limited.
This interventional study aims to compare the effects of Graston Technique versus Manual Soft Tissue Release on pain intensity and cervical range of motion in patients diagnosed with tension neck syndrome.
Participants will be randomly assigned to one of two intervention groups. Group 1 will receive Graston Technique, and Group 2 will receive Manual Soft Tissue Release. Both interventions will be delivered by qualified physiotherapists according to a standardized protocol. Outcomes including pain, measured by the Numeric Pain Rating Scale, and cervical range of motion, measured by goniometry, will be assessed at baseline and post-intervention.
The study will help determine which technique provides greater improvement in pain reduction and functional mobility, guiding clinical decision-making in the management of tension neck syndrome.

Sperimentale: Graston Technique
Participants in this arm receive Graston Technique, an instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization therapy.
Treatment is applied to the cervical spine and upper trapezius muscles using stainless steel instruments.
Frequency and duration of sessions are as defined in the study protocol.
All interventions are delivered by a licensed physiotherapist.

Sperimentale: Manual Soft Tissue Release
Participants in this arm receive Manual Soft Tissue Release, a hands-on manual therapy technique.
The therapist applies sustained pressure and stretching to release tightness in the cervical spine and upper trapezius muscles.
Frequency and duration of sessions are as defined in the study protocol.
All interventions are delivered by a licensed physiotherapist.

Cosa sta misurando lo studio?
Misure di risultato primarie
Misura del risultato |
Misura Descrizione |
Lasso di tempo |
|---|---|---|
|
Change in Neck Pain Intensity
Lasso di tempo: Baseline and after 12 weeks of intervention
|
Neck pain intensity measured using the Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NPRS), where 0 = no pain and 10 = worst pain imaginable.
Higher scores indicate greater pain.
|
Baseline and after 12 weeks of intervention
|
|
Change in Cervical Range of Motion
Lasso di tempo: Baseline and after 12 weeks of intervention
|
Cervical range of motion for flexion, extension, lateral flexion, and rotation measured in degrees using a goniometer.
Higher values indicate greater range of motion.
|
Baseline and after 12 weeks of intervention
