This study aim to investigate the effects of Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation for improving pressure pain thresholds (PPTs), range of motion,Neck Disability Index, the multidimensional health related quality of life (SF-12) and the multidimensional health related quality of life and pain in patients with mechanical neck pain (NP).
Fifty-four participants with NP will randomly allocated to either an Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (ten sessions) or transcutaneous electric nerve stimulation (TENS) (ten sessions) during two weeks. . Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), Neck Disability Index ( NDI), range of motion and (CROM), Questionnaire SF-12 and PPTs in sub-occipital and upper trapezius muscles were measured at baseline, at the end of treatment and at 1 month follow-up. T-tests and a repeated-measures multivariate analysis of variance (RM-MANOVA) were used for VAS, CROM and PPTs, respectively.
