Trial summary
In some individuals, neck pain subsides within a year but reappearance is surpassing while for some patients it prevails for lifetime. According to a study on global burden of disease performed in 2010, neck pain was rated as number 4th when measured with Years Lived With Disability (YLDs) and stood 21st when overall… Read more about this study

About this study
In some individuals, neck pain subsides within a year but reappearance is surpassing while for some patients it prevails for lifetime. According to a study on global burden of disease performed in 2010, neck pain was rated as number 4th when measured with Years Lived With Disability (YLDs) and stood 21st when overall burden was concerned. The estimated 1 year incidence of neck pain from available studies ranges between 10.4% and 21.3% with a higher incidence noted in office and computer workers. While the overall prevalence of neck pain in the general population ranges between 0.4% and 86.8% ; point prevalence ranges from 0.4% to 41.5% and 1 year prevalence ranges from 4.8% to 79.5%. Occurrence of neck pain is generally higher in women, high-income countries compared with low- and middle-income countries and in urban areas compared with rural areas. In addition, the patient characteristics like psychosocial factors are determinants, risk factors and prognostic factors of neck pain but this knowledge doesn't provide adequate information to the physician to deal with such patients.
Read the detailed description
Neck pain is the sense of discomfort that could be felt in the cervical and upper thoracic region. It's an ubiquitous human perception. Non-specific neck pain has a postural or mechanical basis and affects about two thirds of people at some stage, especially in the middle age. Acute neck pain resolves within days or weeks, but may become chronic in about 10% of people. Many individuals have asymptomatic neck pain due to various hidden pathologies and improper postural characteristics which is only noticeable after detailed screening and scans.
Heart and lungs are the main organs housed by the thoracic cage with all their vascular and nervous supply passing through the cervical and the thoracic spine. The respiratory system could be affected by the musculoskeletal system of the body. As there are accessory respiratory muscles of respiration that are attached to the neck, chest wall and/or abdomen.
Bad posture, for instance, can lead to reduction in power of the neck muscles hence reducing power of the respiratory muscles creating negative effect on the thoracic expansion, alveolar ventilation, reducing lung volume and vital capacity.
Every health system is indicated by certain measures, vital signs are indicative of the health of cardiovascular and respiratory system as well as body as a whole. These physiological observations generally include blood pressure (BP), heart rate (HR), and ventilation rate (VR), temperature (Temp), and oxygen saturation (SPO2) in the blood. Another vital sign, known as the fifth vital sign is Pain.
Changes or deviation of the vital signs from its normal ranges help evaluate and manage any adverse event such as cardiac arrest or sudden death and help in preventing many such deadly events by early recognition and prompt treatments and also help reduce mortality and morbidity.
Several studies have been known to show that alterations in vital signs are not only seen as a result of any pathological event but also any non-pathological as well. Any type of physiological movements of body part such as the spine as a whole or interventional movements, several exercises, mobilization or manipulations, to any segment of the spine like cervical, thoracic or lumbar, have a specific effect on the vital signs.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Traction Mobilization techniqueOther
Traction Mobilization was given by Researcher at the cervical spine followed by a one minute interval before post vitals were taken, that marked the end of the first session. Three similar sessions succeeded the first, each at an interval of 2 days for 2 weeks between the first and second session; third and fourth session respectively. At the end of the fourth session, cervical ranges and pain intensity were noted again. Participant sits comfortably or leans against a chair backrest. Palms of the hands are placed on the mastoid processes of the patient's skull while pressing the elbows in a caudal direction. It was held for 5 seconds then relaxed.
Traction Mobilization technique with SNAGSOther
Traction Mobilization with SNAGS were given at the cervical spine followed by a one minute interval before post vitals were taken, that marked the end of the first session. Three similar sessions succeeded the first, each at an interval of 2 days for 2 weeks between the first and second session; third and fourth session respectively. At the end of the fourth session, cervical ranges and pain intensity were noted again The position of the therapist is behind him or her, medial border of therapist's right thumb is used to contact the spinous process of C6 vertebrae i.e. level above the suspected painful or hypo mobile region. Therapist's left thumb reinforces his/her (right) contact thumb. Therapist fingers are gently placed along the patient's mandible or thorax. Following the treatment plane towards the eye, lift comes from the mobilizing thumb not the contact thumb. While the glide is maintained, the patient is asked to rotate his/her head towards the side of pain or hypo mobility.

|---|---|---|
| Control Group | Other | Questionnaires were given to the participants. Before the initiation of treatment, procedure and consent details were explained and verbally translated into the native languages of participants, followed by the written signed approval on the questionnaire.

Succeeding it were vitals in which oxygen saturation, heart rate, blood pressure, ventilation rate were jotted along with pain measurement using NPRS scale.

In some individuals, neck pain subsides within a year but reappearance is surpassing while for some patients it prevails for lifetime. According to a study on global burden of disease performed in 2010, neck pain was rated as number 4th when measured with Years Lived With Disability (YLDs) and stood 21st when overall burden was concerned. The estimated 1 year incidence of neck pain from available studies ranges between 10.4% and 21.3% with a higher incidence noted in office and computer workers. While the overall prevalence of neck pain in the general population ranges between 0.4% and 86.8% ; point prevalence ranges from 0.4% to 41.5% and 1 year prevalence ranges from 4.8% to 79.5%.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A study testing Traction Mobilization technique and Traction Mobilization technique with SNAGS in people with Neck Pain and Blood Pressure, run by Shifa Tameer-e-Millat University at 1 site in Pakistan.
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 2 inclusion and 4 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 25 Feb 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 Pakistan. 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?
Results are not available in the source record.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
Contact Zoya Mehmood, MS-OMPT (03318380801, zoya_dpt.ahs@stmu.edu.pk), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Cardiac outcome (time frame: 4 weeks). 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?
On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT05257616, which also lists 10 linked publications.
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 25 Feb 2022.
