The purpose of this randomized clinical trial was to examine the widespread effects of thoracic spine thrust manipulation and thoracic non-thrust mobilization on pressure pain sensitivity and neck pain intensity in patients with chronic mechanical neck pain.

| Label | Type | Description | Intervention Names |
|---|---|---|---|
| Thoracic manipulation | Experimental | A high-velocity, end range, anterior-posterior thrust applied through the elbows to the mid-thoracic spine will be applied. |
|
| Thoracic mobilization | Active Comparator | Patients will receive 20 seconds bouts of grade III-IV of central posterior-anterior (PA) non-thrust mobilization from T3 to T6 spinous process as described by Maitland et al for an overall intervention time of approximately 2 minutes |
|

| Thoracic mobilization | Other | Patients will receive 20 seconds bouts of grade III-IV of central posterior-anterior (PA) non-thrust mobilization from T3 to T6 spinous process as described by Maitland et al for an overall intervention time of approximately 2 minutes |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Change in Pressure pain thresholds | The amount of pressure applied for the pressure sensation to first change to pain will be assessed with an electronic algometer (Somedic AB, Farsta, Sweden) over the C5-C6 zygapophyseal joint, second metacarpal and tibialis anterior muscle | Change between baseline and 1o minutes immediate after the intervention |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Change in Neck pain intensity | Participants will rate the intensity of their neck pain at rest on an 11-point numerical pain rate scale (NPRS, 0: no pain, 10: maximum pain) | Change between baseline and 1o minutes immediate after the intervention |
