Mechanical cervicalgia (CM) is a very prevalent condition that causes pain and disability and represents a great economic, social and labor cost.
The objective was to evaluate the efficacy of a supervised therapeutic physical exercise program (EFT) in reducing pain and disability in CM patients.
A sample of 21 patients with CM, of both sexes, belonging to the Physical Therapy Service of the Health Center of San José de la Rinconada (Seville). Subjects were assessed at the beginning and at the end of the intervention (2 weeks and 10 treatment sessions). We analyze the perceived pain: Visual Analogue Scale (EVA), the degree of disability: Neck Disability Index (NDI) and Core Outcome Measure (COM).
The EFT program in patients with CM produced a reduction in pain VAS = 3.74 +/- 1.33 and disability NDI = 16.28 + / 4.97 and COM = 21.69 + / 10.54, in a statistically significant way (p = 0.000 for p <0.05).
The EFT program presented was effective in reducing pain and disability in CM patients.
