Sponsor's own description
The aim of our clinical study is to investigate the efficacy of combining a program of manual techniques for treating chronic neck pain with the simultaneous application of TECAR therapy, utilizing two specialized anti-static electrode bracelets. A total of 80 women with upper trapezius trigger points and neck pain persisting for more than 12 weeks will be randomly assigned to two groups. In the first group, combined treatment involving manual techniques and two TECAR anti-static electrode bracelets will be administered, while in the second group, the same protocol will be followed without the electrode bracelets. All participants will receive a total of 15 treatments over five weeks, with a follow-up assessment six months post-treatment. Pain will be measured using the Numerical Pain Rating Scale (NPRS), and pain thresholds at the upper trapezius muscle and suboccipital area will be evaluated with a digital algometer. Additionally, neck range of motion will be assessed with a goniometer, and functional ability will be evaluated using the "Neck Disability Index" questionnaire. Assessments will be conducted before and after the treatment period, with a follow-up assessment six months later. For statistical analysis, a multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA) with repeated measures will be applied, with the significance level set at p \< .05.
