Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: Patients with symptoms of cervical pain, diagnosed with subacute or chronic mechanical neck pain;Chronic mechanical neck pain (CMC);Patients with limitation in the opening of the mouth of less than 40mm, without the need to suffer symptoms in the ATM; Whole age (between 18 and 50 years old);With signed written consent;No difference of sex;Patients dysfunction or disorders in the high cervical
Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: Any surgical intervention in upper limbs, head or spine at any time of their lives;Having received previous osteopathic treatment in the last two months;Having received medical treatment two weeks before the study;Refusal of the patient to participate in the study;Any Contraindication to the application of the treatment or evaluations.
Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| It is expected to find and evaluate after the application of the osteopathic treatment in the experimental group the variables of: 1. opening of the mouth with scientifically validated caliber (mm). More than 40mm 2. pain threshold algometry at pressure (kg / cm2), masseter and temporal triggers. Less than 2kg / cm2 3. goniometry of cervical mobility with CROM (º amplitude). More than 45º of both rotations, 20º of flexo-extension, and 10º of both lateroflexiones. In patients with subacute and chronic cervical pathologies after two sessions of treatment with a variation of at least 50% of patients with minimal expected success in the pre- and post-intervention measures;It is expected to find and evaluate the changes that occur in the control group by the method of applying a conventional physiotherapy treatment, in the variables of: - opening of the mouth with scientifically validated caliber (mm). More than 40mm - pain threshold algometry at pressure (kg / cm2), masseter and temporal triggers. Less than 2kg / cm2 - goniometry of cervical mobility with CROM (º amplitude). More than 45º of both rotations, 20º of flexo-extension, and 10º of both lateroflexiones. In patients with subacute and chronic cervical pathologies after two sessions of treatment with a variation of at least 10% of patients with minimal expected success in the pre- and post-intervention measures ;Compare the respective improvements between the physiotherapy method in the control group and the osteopathy method in the experimental group will be compared in the variables of opening of the mouth, algometry of the masseter and temporal triggers, and goniometry of the cervical mobility with a Minimum variation of 40% between one method and another in post-intervention measures | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Verify by the use of the cervical pain measurement scale and / or associated disability: Neck Disability Indexy see the difference of pre- and post-intervention score, Expecting score of at least 25 of 50 in both groups. | — |
