Abstract
The Effects of Neural Therapy Using 1% Procaine Injections on Pain and Autonomic Nervous System in Patients with Neck Pain
Highlights
Cervical spine disorders are common and annually create a large burden on the healthcare system totaling about 50 billion in healthcare expenditure [1, 2]
Cervical spine pain often leads to chronic issues as up to 50% of people have pain lasting longer than 6 months [11]
Each subject completed a Global Rating of Change Scale using a 5 point Likert scale (-5 indicating “very much worse”, 0 indicating “no change”, and 5 indicating “Completely gone”) The mean score was 3.22 (SD =1.92) supporting the hypothesis of an overall selfperceived benefit from the intervention on their pain experience. The aim of this pilot study was to evaluate the immediate shortterm effect of the paravertebral application of neural therapy using 1% procaine at the cervicothoracic region in subjects with chronic neck pain was on the autonomic nervous system
Summary
Neural therapy, is a treatment approach that targets the nervous system by altering resting potential through injecting a local anesthetic. Neural therapy can be used to treat local tissues such as trigger points. It was the aim of this study to evaluate the short-term effect of neural therapy, using 1% procaine injections at cervicothoracic region, in subjects with chronic cervical spine pain on the autonomic nervous system. The secondary aim was to investigate if neural therapy resulted in immediate change in reported pain
