A Comparative Study of the Effects of Deep Oscillation and Physical Therapy Modalities in Patients with Cervical Spondylosis // Сравнително проучване на ефектите на дълбока осцилация (Deep Oscillation) и някои преформирани физикални фактори при пациенти с шийна остеохондроза

This thesis aims to investigate the effect of the combined application of Deep Oscillation and some physical factors and to compare it with a combination of routine physical factors applied to treat patients with cervical spondylosis. This prospective, parallel study was conducted at the Clinic for Physical and Rehabilitation Medicine at St. Marina University Hospital - Varna and the Department of Rehabilitation. According to the study design, the patients were divided into three groups – group "A" (Deep Oscillation therapy, TENS and kinesitherapy), group "B" (Phonophoresis with NSAIDs, TENS and kinesitherapy) and group "C" (Placebo-Deep Oscillation, TENS and kinesitherapy). A total of 121 cases of patients with cervical osteochondrosis were followed. All subjects were documented in detail according to gender, age, occupation and physical examination results (static and dynamic VAS, muscle tone, goniometry, Zung test and NDI). Patients were followed up at three different time points: at baseline before starting treatment (T0), after completing the treatment course (T1) and on day 45 after starting treatment (T2). The results of the conducted study show that the complex therapy, including Deep Oscillation for patients with cervical spondylosis, leads to a reduction of clinical manifestations and improvement of motor capabilities and positively affects the psycho-emotional state and quality of life of the examined persons.
