临床试验NCT07260019是一项针对Upper Trapezius Trigger Points,Non Specific Chronic Neck Pain干预性研究试验,当前状态为尚未招募试验尚未开始,计划于2025年12月1日开始,预计招募75名患者。该研究由开罗大学主导,计划于2026年12月1日完成。试验数据来源于ClinicalTrials.gov,最后更新时间为2025年12月2日
简要概括

The goal of this randomized controlled trial is to compare the effects of Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization (IASTM) and dry cupping in patients (both genders), aged 20-50 years, diagnosed with chronic non-specific neck pain who have active upper trapezius trigger points. The main questions it aims to answer are :

  1. Is there a significant difference in the effect on pain level (measured by VAS) between the groups?
  2. Is there a significant difference in the effect on cervical range of motion (CROM), pressure pain threshold (PPT), and functional disability (NDI) between the groups?

Researchers will compare three groups:

  1. Group A (Control):] Will receive a conventional physical therapy program (hot packs, TENS, and exercises).
  2. Group B (Experimental):] Will receive conventional therapy plus IASTM.
  3. Group C (Experimental):] Will receive conventional therapy plus Dry Cupping.

Participants will be asked to do the following:

  1. Undergo baseline assessments (measuring pain, ROM, PPT, and disability) before treatment and final assessments after 4 weeks.
  2. Attend [3 treatment sessions per week for four weeks].
  3. At each session, all participants will receive the conventional physical therapy program , while Groups B and C will receive their additional intervention (IASTM or dry cupping).

阳性对照Group A (Control Group)
Participants will receive a conventional physical therapy program. This includes hot packs applied over the neck and upper shoulders for 15-20 minutes , Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) applied for 20-30 minutes , and a supervised exercise program (including range of motion, isometric strengthening, chin tucks, and scapular retractions). The treatment will be administered for 3 sessions per week for four weeks.
Hot Packs
Commercially accessible hot packs (made of bentonite) are placed over the neck and the upper part of the shoulder musculature while the patient is in a prone position. The application lasts for 15-20 minutes.
经皮电神经刺激
Applied while the patient is sitting. Electrodes are placed directly over or surrounding the trigger point and along the muscle belly. Parameters: Pulse rate 60-100Hz , Pulse width 40-250 μs. Intensity is set to a tolerable tingling sensation. Treatment duration is 20-30 minutes.
运动计划
A supervised home exercise program consisting of: Range of Motion Exercises: Cervical flexion, extension, lateral flexion, rotation, and shoulder shrugs. Strengthening Exercises: Isometric cervical flexion, extension, lateral flexion, and rotation; scapular retractions; and chin tucks. Dosage: Performed daily for 10-15 repetitions and 2-3 sets
实验性Group B (IASTM Group)
Participants will receive the same conventional physical therapy program as Group A (hot packs, TENS, and exercises) . In addition, they will receive Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization (IASTM). This combined treatment will be administered for 3 sessions per week for four weeks.
器械辅助软组织松动术
While the participant is seated, a lubricant (Vaseline) is applied to the skin. The M2T blade is used at a 45° angle to apply slow sweeping strokes along the muscle from origin to insertion (sweeping technique) over the upper trapezius for approximately three minutes.
Hot Packs
Commercially accessible hot packs (made of bentonite) are placed over the neck and the upper part of the shoulder musculature while the patient is in a prone position. The application lasts for 15-20 minutes.
经皮电神经刺激
Applied while the patient is sitting. Electrodes are placed directly over or surrounding the trigger point and along the muscle belly. Parameters: Pulse rate 60-100Hz , Pulse width 40-250 μs. Intensity is set to a tolerable tingling sensation. Treatment duration is 20-30 minutes.
运动计划
A supervised home exercise program consisting of: Range of Motion Exercises: Cervical flexion, extension, lateral flexion, rotation, and shoulder shrugs. Strengthening Exercises: Isometric cervical flexion, extension, lateral flexion, and rotation; scapular retractions; and chin tucks. Dosage: Performed daily for 10-15 repetitions and 2-3 sets
实验性Group C (Dry Cupping Group)
Participants will receive the same conventional physical therapy program as Group A (hot packs, TENS, and exercises) . In addition, they will receive Dry Cupping. This combined treatment will be administered for 3 sessions per week for four weeks.
DRY Cupping
While the participant is in a prone position , a single 5cm inner diameter plastic cup is applied to the skin directly over the pre-determined treatment location. The cup is secured by pumping a manual hand-pump three times. The cup is left in place for 5 minutes.
Hot Packs
Commercially accessible hot packs (made of bentonite) are placed over the neck and the upper part of the shoulder musculature while the patient is in a prone position. The application lasts for 15-20 minutes.

主要终点
结果指标度量标准描述时间框架
Pain Intensity Level
Pain intensity will be assessed using the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS). The VAS is a self-reported 10 cm line where 0 cm represents "no pain" and 10 cm represents "worst imaginable pain".
Baseline (before intervention) and after 4 weeks of treatment.
次要终点
结果指标度量标准描述时间框架
Cervical Range of Motion (CROM)
Active cervical range of motion will be measured in degrees using a Cervical Range of Motion (CROM) device. Measurements will be taken for flexion, extension, lateral flexion (right and left), and rotation (right and left) . Three trials will be averaged for each movement.
Baseline (before intervention) and after 4 weeks of treatment.
Pressure Pain Threshold (PPT)
PPT will be assessed using a manual pressure algometer applied to the identified myofascial trigger point. Pressure will be increased at a rate of 1 kg/cm² per second until the patient first reports the sensation of pressure changing to pain. The average of three measurements, taken 30 seconds apart, will be recorded.
Baseline (before intervention) and after 4 weeks of treatment.
Functional Disability
Functional disability will be assessed using the validated Arabic version of the Neck Disability Index (NDI-AR). This is a 10-item self-reported questionnaire that evaluates limitations in daily activities and functional impairment due to neck pain.
Baseline (before intervention) and after the 4-week intervention period.
