About this study
Official title: Effect of Kinesthetic and Visual Motor Imagery Training on Cervical Position Sense and Balance in Patients With Mechanical Neck Pain
To investigate the Effect of Kinesthetic and Visual Motor Imagery Training on Cervical Position Sense and Balance in Mechanical Neck Pain
Read the detailed description
Thirty patients with Mechanical Neck Pain will participate in this study. The patients will randomly be divided into two equal groups; the control group which received the selected exercise program and the study group received the same exercise training program in addition to Kinesthetic and Visual Motor Imagery Training, three times per week for four weeks. The evaluation methods are cervical joint position error test, neck disability index, multidirectional reach test and visual analogue scale
- Conditions
- Mechanical Neck Pain
- Being tested
- selected exercise program, Kinesthetic and Visual Motor Imagery Training
What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
selected exercise programOther
therapeutic ultrasound, Static neck exercise, balance exercises
Kinesthetic and Visual Motor Imagery TrainingOther
Kinesthetic and Visual Motor Imagery Training During kinesthetic imagery, the participants were asked to feel their body parts without any body motion. During visual imagery, the participants were asked to perform a visual presentation of the motion without any body motion.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |

| control group | Experimental | the control group which received the selected exercise program Receives: Other: selected exercise program |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
cervical joint position error test
The subject will be instructed to perform an active head rotation to one side, after which returns back to the neutral or starting head position.
The test will be performed in a 3 trials in each direction
Measured: four weeks
Neck disability index
includes 10 items as follows: Pain Intensity, Personal Care, Lifting, Reading, Headaches, Concentration, Work, Driving, Sleeping, and Recreation, with a score (0:5) for every point. The maximum score is 50, with the interpretation scoring (no disability = 0: 4, mild disability 5:14, moderate disability 15:24, severe disability 25: 34 and complete disability above 34
Measured: four weeks
Secondary outcomes (2)
Visual analogue scale for pain (VAS-P)
is a method for measuring the intensity of pain on a horizontal straight line of fixed length (10 cm), as the left end of the line showed the greatest pain score \& the right end showed the least pain scores, then the patient was asked to put a mark, on the line according to his/her pain sensation, with a higher score representing the higher level of pain
Measured: four weeks
multidirectional reach test
The Multi-Directional Reach Test (MDRT) measures balance and the limits of stability in the anterior-posterior and medial-lateral directions by testing how far an individual can voluntarily reach forward, to the right, to the left, and lean backward, while standing with their feet flat on the ground, shoulder-width apart
Measured: four weeks

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?
cervical joint position error test (time frame: four weeks). The study lists 2 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 3 Feb 2025.
