Abstract:
Background:The prevalence of neck pain among adults worldwide is 4.9-22.3%. It occurs in 34.7% of office workers
in industrialized countries.
Aim:To study the effect of massage therapy of Mongolian medicine on neck pain
Materials and Methods:In this study, a parallel clinical trial design was used, and 50 patients with neck pain were divided
into two groups: the treatment group received massage therapy of Mongolian medicine and the control group received
exercise therapy, and the treatment results were compared. VAS assessment, NDI, Digital Algometer, and European
Quality of Life Questionnaire were used in the study.
Results:52 % of the study participants were male, while 48 % were female, and their mean age was 43.3±21.3.
The VAS score for pain assessment was 5.44±0.96 in the treatment group and 5.44±0.96 in the comparison group before
treatment, but after the treatment it decreased to 0.80±0.71 in the treatment group and 1.44±0.77 in the comparison group,
respectively, which showed a statistically significant difference. Massage therapy of Mongolian medicine has a greater
pain-relieving effect than exercise therapy in the treatment of neck pain (p<0.01).
The pressure pain threshold was 934±154.60 in the treatment group and 934±154.60 in the comparison group before
treatment, but after treatment, it increased to 1536±22.91 in the treatment group and 1392±83.77 in the comparison
group, which was statistically significant (p<0.01).
The neck disability index of patients with neck pain was 11.44±2.87 in the treatment group and 11.56±2.55 in the
comparison group before treatment, but after treatment it decreased to 0.84±0.69 in the treatment group and 1.40±0.87 in
the comparison group. Although exercise therapy has the effect of reducing the neck disability index, when comparing the
treatment results of the two groups, massage therapy of Mongolian medicine had greater effect (p<0.05).
European Quality of Life Questionnaire was 8.64±2.25 in the treatment group and 8.16±1.60 in the comparison group
before treatment, but after treatment it was 5.28±0.54 in the treatment group and 7.44±1.23 in the comparison group.
Massage therapy of Mongolian medicine has a greater effect on improving the quality of life of people with neck pain
compared to exercise therapy (p<0.01).
The neck forward bending was 36.60±2.45 in the treatment group and 37.24±2.35 in the comparison group before
treatment, but after treatment, it increased to 42.32±2.14 in the treatment group and 39.32±2.14 in the comparison group,
which was statistically significant (p0.01).The neck abduction was 36.20±1.89 in the treatment group and 36.56±2.24
in the comparison group before treatment, but after treatment, it increased to 42.80±2.06 in the treatment group and
39.76±1.88 in the comparison group, which was statistically significant (p=0.01).The neck left rotation was 60.84±3.77
in the treatment group and 61.56±4.31 in the comparison group before treatment, but after treatment, it increased to
75.08±3.55 in the treatment group and 67.20±4.29 in the comparison group, which was statistically significant (p0.01).
The neck right rotation was 61.80±4.39 in the treatment group and 62.00±4.42 in the comparison group before treatment,
but after treatment, it increased to 76.52±2.95 in the treatment group and 68.04±4.46 in the comparison group, which
was statistically significant (p0.01).When comparing the treatment results of the two groups, Mongolian medical bariatric
surgery was more effective (p<0.01).
Conclusions:1. Massage therapy of Mongolian medicine reduces disability index in people with neck pain (p<0.05).
2. Massage therapy of Mongolian medicine has a significant effect on reducing pain and pressure pain threshold in
people with neck pain (p<0.01).
3. Massage therapy of Mongolian medicine has the effect of improving the quality of life of people with neck pain
(p<0.01).
