About this study

Participants between the ages of 18-64 who were diagnosed with cervical myofascial pain syndrome will be included in the study. cervical sagittal parameters, numerical pain rating scale, Bournemouth neck questionnaire and cervical range of motion will be measured and evaluated.

Read the detailed description

It is an observational, cross-sectional study. Participants between the ages of 18-64 who were diagnosed with cervical myofascial pain syndrome, who applied to the Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Clinic of Kanuni Sultan Süleyman Training and Research Hospital with neck pain for more than 3 months will be included. The pain level of the participants will be evaluated with the numerical pain rating scale, the cervical range of motion and the disability level with the Bournemouth neck questionnaire. C0-2 cervical lordosis angle, C2-C7 cervical lordosis angle, cervical sagittal vertical axis (cSVA), T1 slop, T1 slop - cervical lordosis angle (TS-CL), cervical tilt, thoracic inlet angle (TIA) and Cranial tilt measurement will be performed by using Surgimap software program. The relationship between the level of pain and disability, and cervical sagittal parameters will be evaluated.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. NRS (Numerical rating scale)

    The Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) is the simplest and most commonly used numeric scale in which the child rates the pain from 0 (no pain) to 10 (worst pain)

    Measured: 1 day

  2. cervical range of motion (degree)

    cervical flexion, extension, lateral flexion and rotation angles are actively evaluated.

    Measured: 1 day

  3. Bournemouth Neck Questionnaire

    Adapted from the Bournemouth Low Back Pain questionnaire developed by Bolton and Humphreys in 2002. The Bournemouth Neck Pain Questionnaire consists of 7 questions in total. Each question scores between 0 and 10. Although the highest score is 70, a high score indicates a high level of disability.

    Measured: 1 day

  4. cervical sagittal parameters

    Parameters to be checked in cervical lateral radiograph; C0-2 and C2-7 lordosis, T1 slope, c2-7 sagittal vertical axis, TS-CL, servical tilt and cranial tilt.

    Measured: 1 day

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Myofascial Pain Syndrome and Neck Pain, run by Kanuni Sultan Suleyman Training and Research Hospital at 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye).

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 5 inclusion and 2 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 27 Dec 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye). Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

NRS (Numerical rating scale) (time frame: 1 day). The study lists 4 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 27 Dec 2022.
