Brief summary (from the registry)
Background: Skeletal muscle-type pain is one of the main reasons for consultations in health centers. In Chile, it is estimated that the prevalence reaches 33% in men and 50% in women, increasing considerably with age, with cervical pain being one of the main conditions, estimating that 80% of the population has experienced cervicalgia at some time. lifetime. The main symptom is neck pain and restriction of movement, mainly affecting the mobility of the upper cervical region. Although there are studies evaluating the effectiveness of manual techniques, there are currently no studies evaluating the effects on cervical muscle activity and pressure threshold. Therefore, the objective of the present investigation is to evaluate the immediate effects of a manual therapy technique on the threshold pressure of muscular trigger points and on the muscular activity of the upper cervical region in patients with chronic pain and restriction of cervical mobility. higher. Methods: Clinical trial, randomized, prospective, double-blind study (patient and evaluator). The participants (21 subjects) were divided into 2 groups. The control group will receive a C0-C0 placebo mobilization technique and the experimental group will receive the C0-C1 mobilization technique. In both groups the technique will be carried out by mobilization cycles of 15 seconds and 3 seconds of rest for a total period of 5 min. Pressure threshold, activation of the superficial deep musculature and articular range of the upper cervical region will be measured.
