摘要

Background

Core Stabilization Exercises (CSE) and myofascial release therapy (MRT) are commonly used methods for musculoskeletal pain. The combined use of these two methods may provide long-term and sustained relief or reduction of pain in both deep and superficial tissues.

Objective

This study aimed to evaluate the effects of MRT using a roller combined with CSE in adults with chronic neck pain (CNP).

Methods

A total of 58 participants were initially enrolled and randomly divided into 2 groups. Thirteen participants dropped out during the intervention period, leaving forty-five participants whose data were included in the analyses. The CSE program was applied to participants in the CSE group 3 days per week for 6 weeks. In addition to CSE, MRT with a roller massager was performed 3 days per week for 6 weeks for participants in the CSE + MRT group.

Results

In the CSE + MRT group, functionality increased significantly (p < 0.001). The increase in lateral–medial dynamic balance was not statistically significant (p = 0.066).

Conclusion

The combination of CSE and MRT is more effective than CSE alone in increasing the pressure pain threshold and reducing pain in individuals with CNP.
