An interventional study of Cervical Manipulation and Sham Cervical Manipulation in Bruxism and Muscle Disorder, sponsored by University of Americas. Completed at 1 site in Chile. Open to participants aged 18 Years and older, including healthy volunteers. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2021-12-01.
Sponsored by University of Americas · Not applicable, Interventional, and Treatment
Research Problem: To know the immediate effects of high speed and low amplitude cervical manipulation on the electromyographic activity of the masseter muscles of physiotherapy students at the University of the Americas Course objective: To compare the immediate effects of high-speed, low-amplitude cervical manipulation on the electromyographic activity of the masseter muscles versus a placebo intervention in kinesiology students at the University of the Americas.
Specific objectives: To describe the changes in the electromyographic activity of the masseter muscles of the high-speed cervical manipulation group in students of the physiotherapy school of the University of the Americas of the Santiago Centro campus.
To describe the changes in the electromyographic activity of the masseter muscles of the placebo group in students of the physiotherapy school of the University of the Americas of the Santiago Centro campus.
Methodology: Single-blind, randomized clinical trial. Expected results: Significant differences are expected between the intervention group and the control group. This is reflected in a decrease in electromyographic activity in the masseter muscles after high-speed cervical manipulation.
