“…Findings of this study also correlated with those of Celenay et al (2016) who showed that stabilization exercises combined with manual therapy were superior to stabilization exercises alone for improving pain, disability, range of motion and quality of life in mechanical neck pain [27].…”

Background: Mechanical neck dysfunction (MND) is a disabling and costly disorder. There are insufficient data available to determine the efficacy of the stabilization and McKenzie exercises on MND.Purpose: The objective of this study was to compare stabilization exercises to McKenzie exercises in patients with MND.Design: Two group pretest-posttest design.Materials and Methods: Twenty-seven participants were randomly allocated to the stabilization group (n=14) and the McKenzie group (n=13). Each group received treatment twice a week over a 6-week period. Outcome included pain intensity measured on a visual analogue scale, disability measured with the neck disability index, pain threshold measured with the pressure algometer and cervical range of motion measured with an electronic goniometer at baseline and after six weeks of treatment.Results: Pain intensity, functional disability, pain threshold and cervical range of motion showed significant differences in all groups after intervention. However, there were no significant differences between groups.Conclusion: Within the limitations of this study, both programs were equally effective in improving pain, disability, and range of motion of patients with MND.

Background: Mechanical neck pain (MNP) is a common neck disorders affecting middle-aged population.Magnetotherapy is considered as a safe and non-invasive physical therapy modality used in the treatment of musculoskeletal pain. , 4.483(1.228) months respectively. They were randomly assigned in to two groups. Group I (30 Patients) was treated with PEMF plus exercises (PEMF+EX) group and group II (30 Patients) treated with placebo magnetic plus exercises (PL+EX) group. Exercise program included active range of motion, muscle stretching and strengthening exercises applied two sessions/week for 6 weeks. PEMF was applied with 20 Hz, 0.8 mT for 20 minutes two sessions/week for 6 weeks. Pain level was measured by visual analog scale (VAS) and neck functions were measured by neck disability index (NDI). The level of significance was set at p< 0.05.Results: Wilcoxon matched-pairs signed-ranks test revealed significant differences in VAS and NDI in PEMF+EX and PL+EX groups (p <0.0001). Mann-Whitney (MW) Test showed significant decreased in VAS and NDI scores both treatment (p <0.0001) with more significant decrease in PEMF group than PL+EX group.Conclusion: PEMF combined with exercise was effective more than exercises alone in decreasing the scores of VAS and NDI in Chronic MNP.

“…Poor thoracic spine mobility was treated in neck pain by thoracic spine manipulation or mobilization with acute positive effects on neck pain and motions (14,15). Otherwise, mobility and stability exercises or additional therapies related to the thoracic region may be useful treatments for pain, range of motion, disability, and quality of life in patients with CNP (16,17). Although sagittal thoracic spinal curvature and mobility insufficiency in neck pain are a matter of interest, contradictory results have been mentioned in the literature (6,10,13,18,19).…”

Background/aim: Thoracic spine insufficiency is a subject of interest in neck problems. The aim was to investigate thoracic spinal curvature and mobility in subjects with and without chronic neck pain (CNP), cut-off points, and the relationship with pain.Materials and methods: Fifty-six patients with CNP (CNP group) and 53 healthy volunteers (control group) were included. Neck pain intensity of the patients was assessed by visual analogue scale and sagittal thoracic curvature and mobility of all participants were assessed by Spinal Mouse (Idiag, Fehraltorf, Switzerland).Results: Thoracic curvature was higher (P < 0.001) and mobility lower in the CNP group in comparison to the control group (P = 0.013). There was a positive correlation between pain intensity and thoracic curvature (r = 0.391, P < 0.001), while there was a negative correlation between pain intensity and thoracic mobility (r = -0.260, P = 0.006). For detecting neck pain, it was observed that the cut-off points for thoracic curvature and mobility were 45.5° and 30.0°, respectively.Conclusions: An increase in thoracic curvature of more than 45° and a decrease in mobility more than 30° may be critical for CNP patients.
