Study on High-Velocity Thrust Manipulations for Neck Pain
This study is looking at how a specific type of neck adjustment, called a long axis thrust manipulation, affects the C5-C6 facet joint capsule in healthy individuals. Researchers will measure the length and stiffness of this joint capsule before, immediately after, and 24 hours after the manipulation. They want to see if this manipulation changes these measurements. You may be able to join if you are a healthy individual between 18 and 35 years old, do not have neck pain, and can understand English. The study is currently unclear on its recruitment status and aims to enroll 40 participants.
- Study design
- This is a quasi-experimental study with a pre-test-post-test design, meaning measurements are taken before and after an intervention. It plans to enroll 40 participants.
- What's involved
- You will have three recording sessions over two consecutive days. These sessions involve providing general information, having your neck's range of motion measured, and having ultrasound measurements of your C5-C6 joint capsule.
- Compensation
- Not stated in the trial record.
- Follow-up
- Measurements are taken immediately after the manipulation and again 24 hours later.
