About this study

Official title: Short Term Effect of Cervical Mobilization vs Manipulation on Blood Pressure in Hypertensive Subjects( Randomized Control Trial)

Spinal pain or misalignment is a very common disorder affecting a significant number of populations resulting in substantial disability and economic burden. Various manual therapeutic techniques such as spinal manipulations and mobilizations can be used to treat and manage pain and movement dysfunctions such as spinal malalignments and associated complications. These manual therapeutic techniques can affect the cardiovascular parameters .

Read the detailed description

Group A group (n=20). All participants will receive only single session of neck mobilization. Grade IV unilateral posteroanterior pressure and sustained extension to be applied restricted joints and muscle energy technique.

  • Group B (n=20) will receive single session of neck manipulation with high-velocity, low-amplitude thrust over restricted joints (one at a time) with the goal of restoring normal range of motion in the joint.

What is being measured

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

  1. systolic blood pressure measurement

    systolic pressure - the pressure when your heart pushes blood out and is measured by Mercury sphygmomanometer and stethoscope

    Measured: it will be measured immediately before and after single session treatment

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. diastolic blood pressure

    the pressure when your heart rests between beats is measured by Mercury sphygmomanometer and stethoscope

    Measured: it will be measured immediately before and after single session treatment

  2. oxygen saturation

    Oxygen saturation is a vital parameter to define blood oxygen content and oxygen delivery and is measured by pulse oximetry

    Measured: it will be measured immediately before and after single session treatment

  3. perfusion index

    Perfusion index is an indication of the pulse strength at the sensor site. The PI's values range from 0.02% for very weak pulse to 20% for extremely strong pulse.Perfusion index is normally monitored with pulse oximeters

    Measured: it will be measured immediately before and after single session treatment

  4. pain assessment

    The visual analog scale (VAS) is a tool widely used to measure pain

    Measured: it will be measured immediately before and after single session treatment

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing cervical mobilization and cervical manipulation in people with Hypertension, run by Cairo University at 1 site in Egypt.

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 3 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 21 Jul 2023. 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 Egypt. 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?

systolic blood pressure measurement (time frame: it will be measured immediately before and after single session treatment). 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 21 Jul 2023.
