Abstract
Background: Chronic neck pain is one of the most common complaints in the general population and can result in substantial problems including disability, absence from work and cost of treatment. Purpose: This study was conducted to investigate the effect of craniosacral therapy on chronic mechanical neck pain. Subjects: 30 patients aged from 18-30 years from both sexes were classified randomly into 2 groups with equal numbers. Materials & Methods: Study group (group A) consisted of 15 patients who received craniosacral therapy in addition to traditional physical therapy (infrared radiation & ultrasound therapy) for 4 weeks consecutively, while the control group (group B) consisted of 15 patients who received only traditional physical therapy (infrared radiation & ultrasound) for 4 weeks consecutively. Visual analogue scale (VAS), range of motion (ROM) and neck disability index (NDI) were measured at two intervals pre-treatment and post-treatment. Results: There were significant differences between both groups (A and B) post treatment (P<0.0001) regarding VAS, ROM and NDI in favor of group (A). Conclusion: Craniosacral therapy is more effective in addition to traditional physical therapy in improving pain, range of motion and neck functional disability in patients with chronic mechanical neck pain.Biography
