Protocol summary
-
Study aim
-
The aim of this study is to compare the effect of proprioceptive exercise and postural training on neck pain and disability index and neck and shoulder muscles fatigue in female dentists with unspecific neck pain.
-
Design
-
This study is a clinical trial study with 48 dentists, Which consists of two experimental groups ( experimental group 1 and experimental group2 ) and one randomized control group (Using the random allocation rule). Interventions include proprioceptive exercises with postural correction.
-
Settings and conduct
-
Firoozgar hospital
Neck pain and disability of neck and shoulder muscles fatigue will be measured at first and 6 weeks after the intervention in 3 groups.The variables included neck pain measurement using a Visual Analog Scale Questionnaire and for measuring muscle fatigue using the mid frequency of electromyography and Neck Disability Index, which is a neck pain disability Index questionnaire.
-
Participants/Inclusion and exclusion criteria
-
Inclusion criteria include woman with pain scale less than 3 and disability index less than 28 and Subjects will exclude if they have neck or shoulder pain from non-musculature causes and if they have undergone cervical spine surgery; reported any neurological signs.
-
Intervention groups
-
Subjects will be randomly divided into three groups. The first group will receive proprioceptive exercises with postural training while the second group will just receive proprioceptive exercise and the third group will receive no intervention.
-
Main outcome variables
-
measuring Neck pain- Neck disability and muscles fatigue.
