Brief Summary:
This study investigates the effects of instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization (IASTM) and percussion massage therapy on pain, functional status, proprioception, and kinesiophobia in individuals with cervical disc herniation. A total of 66 participants diagnosed with cervical disc herniation will be randomly divided into three groups: vibration therapy, IASTM, and conventional exercise. Each group will receive conventional physiotherapy, while the intervention groups will additionally receive their respective therapies. Outcomes will be measured using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS), Neck Disability Index (NDI), Laser Pointer Joint Position Sense Test, and Tampa Scale for Kinesiophobia (TSK). The aim is to evaluate and compare the effectiveness of both therapies in reducing pain, improving functionality and proprioception, and decreasing fear of movement.
Detailed Description:
Cervical disc herniation is a common musculoskeletal condition that causes significant pain and functional limitations, often affecting individuals in their middle ages and those working in sedentary occupations. This study aims to investigate the therapeutic effects of two modern physical therapy techniques-Instrument-Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization (IASTM) and percussion-based vibration therapy-on pain, functional capacity, proprioception, and kinesiophobia in individuals with cervical disc herniation.
A total of 66 participants diagnosed with cervical disc herniation will be recruited and randomly assigned to one of three groups: (1) Vibration Therapy Group, (2) IASTM Group, and (3) Conventional Exercise Group. All participants will receive standard physiotherapy, including thermotherapy, TENS, and range of motion exercises. Intervention groups will additionally receive either percussion massage therapy (3 sessions/week for 3 weeks) or IASTM (3 sessions/week for 3 weeks), targeting the cervical and upper back musculature.
Outcome measures will include the Visual Analog Scale (VAS) for pain, the Neck Disability Index (NDI) for functional assessment, a Laser Pointer Joint Position Sense Test for proprioception, and the Tampa Scale for Kinesiophobia (TSK) to assess fear of movement. The study seeks to compare the effectiveness of these approaches in improving clinical outcomes and contributing to evidence-based rehabilitation strategies for individuals with cervical disc pathology.
