Background and Aim: The aim of this study was to investigate whether the application of the integrated neuromuscular inhibition technique combined with Electric stimulation can provide faster and greater improvement in maximum strength and isometric of the neck muscles in patients with chronic mechanical neck pain.
Materials and Methods: The current research was a semi-experimental type with a pretest-posttest design. For this purpose, patients with non-specific chronic neck pain in Tehran were randomly divided into two experimental groups (n=17) and a control group (n=17). Pain, disability, strength and endurance of neck muscles before and after eight weeks of intervention were measured using visual pain index, neck disability index, dynamometer and craniocervical flexion test, respectively. Repeated measures analysis of variance and paired T-test and one-way analysis of variance were used to analyze the data.
Results: The results of the paired t-test and one-way analysis of variance did not show significant differences between the group and the out-group in the three groups, in contrast, the combined neuromuscular inhibition technique group with electrical stimulation showed a greater clinical effect size than the other two groups.
Conclusion: According to the clinical effects reported for the combined neuromuscular inhibition technique with electrical stimulation in patients with neck pain, using this method as a complementary method in improving pain, disability and increasing the strength and endurance of neck muscles in patients with chronic neck pain Non-specific is suggested.
