Brief Summary:
Mid-back pain (mbp) is defined as pain occurring within the limits of the third thoracic (T3) and ninth thoracic (T9) vertebrae, caused by the dysfunction of the musculoskeletal structures in the thoracic spine. It can present as pain and/or burning between the shoulder blades with reduced thoracic spine mobility and increased muscle tension. Congenital disorders such as scoliosis and Scheuermann's disease, or acquired disorders such as thoracic facet and costovertebral joint dysfunction may cause mid back pain.
Detailed Description:
Participants aged 18-45 years with non-specific mid-back pain will be randomly assigned to receive either thoracic spine manipulation alone or in combination with costovertebral joint manipulation. Primary outcomes will include pain intensity measured by the Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NPRS), while secondary outcomes will involve thoracic spine range of motion measured by Bubble Inclinometer, and functional disability assessed by the Oswestry Disability Index (ODI). Statistical analysis will be performed using the statistical software IBM SPSS Statistics SPSS 25.0 for calculations. This study aims to provide evidence-based insights into the relative benefits of these manual therapy techniques, potentially informing clinical practice and enhancing treatment outcomes for patients with non-specific mid-back pain.
