“…After the intervention, the Hugo point massage with ice group had a considerably lower mean anxiety score than in the ice-free massage group (p = 0.040) and in the control group. The results of Al-Najjar et al indicated that adding ice massage to a short-term treatment reduces pain, improves pain threshold and function, and increases side bending of the cervical area in participants with mechanical neck pain and activated trigger points in the upper trapezius muscle, with no statistically significant difference (45).…”

The aim of the study was to compare the effectiveness of acupressure and ice massage treatment methods in the treatment of primary dysmenorrhea. The 210 female students were randomly divided into three groups: acupressure, ice massage and control. In the acupressure group, pressure was performed at the Hugo point by applying medium pressure for 10 minutes of massage. The procedure was repeated five times. In the ice massage group, 2 cm diameter circular ice pieces were used. Massage with ice was carried out rotationally for 10 minutes. Like the acupressure, the procedure was repeated five times. In the control group, glass marbles were applied at the Hugo point with no pressure and massage for 10 minutes. The intensity of pain was measured prior to the intervention, during the intervention and following the intervention using a visual analogue scale. In the beginning, the mean VAS scores were 7.41 ± 1.82, 6.74 ± 2.23, and 7.03 ± 1.72 in the participants in groups control, acupressure and ice massage, respectively (P = 0.13). After the intervention, the mean pain scores were significantly lower at all of the time points in groups acupressure and ice massage than in group control participants (P < 0.001). Although the pain scores showed a more decreasing trend after the intervention in group ice massage than that in group acupressure, the difference between the two groups was not statistically significant (P = 0.97). It was revealed that treatment with acupressure and ice massage could also be recommended as a complementary medicine treatment for the treatment of primary dysmenorrhea with no reported side effects.

“…[ 4 6 ] A hyperirritable spot in skeletal muscle that is accompanied by a hypersensitive palpable nodule in a taut band is known as a myofascial trigger point (MTrP), which also may play a significant role in the development of mechanical neck pain. [ 7 ] Physiotherapy includes, exercise therapy, traction which is used to relieve pressure on the spine, electrotherapy etc. Active or passive physical exercises are designed to strengthen or stabilize the spine that may reduce pain, prevent injuries, and improve posture and body mechanics.…”

BACKGROUND: This study “Effectiveness of Mckenzie approach and segmental spinal stabilization exercises on neck pain in individuals with cervical postural syndrome: an experimental study” was conducted to study and find the effectiveness of Mckenzie approach and segmental spinal stabilization exercises on reduction of pain, correction of rounded shoulder, and disability. Pain, disability, and rounded shoulders are the major limiting factors as it affects the quality of life and reduces efficiency and social participation. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The study was conducted among 120 individuals with cervical postural syndrome, and fulfilling the inclusion and exclusion criteria was included. The outcome measures were Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), Neck Disability Index (NDI), and Vernier caliper to evaluate pain, functional disability, and rounded shoulder, respectively. Subjects were randomly divided into two groups, Group A and Group B, by using SPSS software. Interventional training was given for 6 weeks to the patients. Group A subjects were given spinal stabilization exercises. Group B subjects were given Mckenzie approach. The statistical analysis was performed using SPSS; pre-test and post-test were used to calculate the results, followed by data presentation and analysis. RESULT: The result showed that at the end of the 6 weeks on comparison between pre- and post-intervention of Group A and Group B, both the techniques were effective, but group B was significantly effective than Group A. CONCLUSION: It was noted that McKenzie approach and segmental spinal stabilization exercises were effective on neck pain in individuals with cervical postural syndrome, but on comparing both techniques, Mckenzie protocol is more beneficial than segmental spinal stabilization exercises. The study accepts the alternate hypothesis that there is significant effect of McKenzie approach and segmental spinal stabilization exercises on neck pain in individuals with cervical postural syndrome.
