Sponsored by Beni-Suef University · Not applicable, Interventional, and Treatment
This study will investigate the effect of subthreshold stimulation on pain and muscle activity in patients with chronic low neck pain and myofascial trigger points.
The study will include 2 groups. One group will receive subthreshold stimulation and other will not receive any treatment. The measurements will include pain and myscle activity.
1,232 studies on the registry are indexed under Neck Pain; 255 are open to participants now.
This study's planned enrollment of 65 is above the median of 52 across 1,004 interventional studies indexed under Neck Pain.

Exclusion Criteria:
This group will receive subthreshold stimulation
Device: Subthreshold Electrical stimulation
This group will receive no stimulation
We will use a electrotherapy device to deliver subthreshold Electrical stimulation
Electromyographical signals
We will record the the Trapezius muscle activity of both sides.
Time frame: 2 months
Pressure sensitivity using pressure ergometer
We will measure pain threshold produced from Trapezius muscle
Time frame: 2 months
Neck pain and disability
We will record the level of pain and disability in neck using neck pain and disability index. standard instrument for measuring self-rated disability due to neck pain and is used by both clinicians and researchers. Each of the 10 items scores from 0 to 5. The maximum score is 50. The obtained score can be multiplied by two to produce a percentage score
Time frame: 2 months
Functional ability
We will measure the functional ability. The Copenhagen Neck Functional Disability Scale has been developed for those who have neck pain and disabilities due to the pain. The scale includes questions relating to headache, ability to sleep and to concentrate and activities of daily living.
Time frame: 2 months
