Abstract
Aims: Previous studies have shown that Cervical myofascial pain syndrome with dizziness (CMPS-D ) is one of the most common causes of cervicogenic dizziness and is associated with challenge in diagnosis and treatment. this study aimed to investigate the Romberg neck torsion test in patients with CMPS-D and healthy controls.
Materials and methods: Cross-sectional, observational study. twenty patients with CMPS-D were compared with twenty healthy controls. the Romberg (neutral position and neck torsion) and smooth pursuit neck torsion tests were performed in patients with CMPS-D and healthy controls.
Results: The results confirmed that there are significant differences in the Romberg neck torsion test between subjects with CMPS-D and healthy controls (p < 0.05). in addition, There was a significant correlation between Romberg neck torsion and smooth pursuit neck torsion results (p < 0.05).
Conclusion: The results of Romberg neck torsion test in CMPS-D subjects were different from those in healthy controls, which was attributed to neck pain and changes in cervical proprioception input. Romberg neck torsion is a new method for assessing cervicogenic dizziness.
期刊介绍:
Current Genetics publishes genetic, genomic, molecular and systems-level analysis of eukaryotic and prokaryotic microorganisms and cell organelles. All articles are peer-reviewed. The journal welcomes submissions employing any type of research approach, be it analytical (aiming at a better understanding), applied (aiming at practical applications), synthetic or theoretical.
Current Genetics no longer accepts manuscripts describing the genome sequence of mitochondria/chloroplast of a small number of species. Manuscripts covering sequence comparisons and analyses that include a large number of species will still be considered.
