Abstract EN
Objectives.
Proprioceptive training is popularly applied as a therapeutic exercise method in physiotherapy.
Its effects on pain and range of motion are only poorly evaluated.
Therefore, this study assesses the effectiveness of proprioceptive training with an Eye-Cervical Re-education Program to decrease pain and increase the joint range in chronic neck pain patients.
Material and Methods.
Design.
A randomized, no-blinded, controlled clinical trial.
Setting.
Physiotherapy consultation.
Participants.
44 people were divided into two groups.
Interventions.
All patients were treated with a multimodal physiotherapy intervention.
The experimental group was supplemented with an exercise program that included eye-cervical proprioception.
Outcomes.
The primary outcomes included pain pressure thresholds (upper trapezius, levator scapulae, and splenius capitis) and cervical range of motion.
The secondary outcomes included pain measured by the Visual Analogical Scale and the McGillSpv Questionnaire.
Results.
The proprioception treatment was effective in reducing the pain pressure threshold in the right upper trapezius (p=0.001), left upper trapezius (p=0.014), right levator scapula (p=0.040), and left splenius capitis (p=0.021).
The increase in the joint range was statistically significant (p<0.05) in favor of the Eye-Cervical Re-education Program for all movements assessed.
Conclusions.
The Eye-Cervical Re-education Program is effective at relieving pain pressure thresholds in the upper trapezius, right levator scapula, and left splenius capitis and especially effective for increasing the cervical range of motion.
This trial is registered with NCT03197285 (retrospective registration).
