Brief Summary:
The aim of the present study is to value the effectiveness of an Eye-Cervical Re-education Program ECRP to decrease pain and increase mobility in the cervical area compared to a Combined Physiotherapy Protocol CPP in patients with chronic neck pain symptoms
Detailed Description:
Background
In Physiotherapy there is a growing interest of authors to clarify the relationship between the visual system and the neck Aspects such as deficiencies in eye movement during cervical rotation are common disorders in patients who have suffered whiplash trauma or have dizzy syndromes On the other hand deep muscle disorders of the neck are related to the decrease in cervical-ocular reflex Furthermore some disorders in eye movements in patients with idiopathic neck pain have been identified
Consequently a pragmatic approach to multimodal intervention has been recommended to address changes in sensorimotor control at the cervical level For this purpose head-neck sensitization exercises joint position sense training with head relocation oculo-motor exercises ie eye stability eye-neck coordination or balance training have been proposed These programs lead to a sensorimotor control reducing pain and disability in the neck However it is not known if this approach to treatment is a significant improvement when compared to the implementation of other physiotherapy procedures so it is unknown if the application of training oculocervical proprioception is more advisable than other modalities of physiotherapy treatment for the improvement of CNP symptoms
Material and method
This research is an analytical longitudinal prospective experimental evaluator blinded study It is controlled with two parallel groups randomized clinical trial
The sample consisted of patients recruited in a Physiotherapy consultation in Cadiz Spain These assessments were made before and after the start of program and to the end of intervention 8 months
Patients were randomized to control or experimental group All patients are given a Combined Physiotherapy Protocol no apply an Eye-Cervical Re-education Program in subjects in the first group and performing an Eye-Cervical Re-education Program in the second This program was carried out by the physiotherapist Subjects received a total of ten sessions on alternate days
