dc.description.abstract | Background
The physical and cognitive demands of combat flying may influence the development and
persistence of flight-related neck pain (FRNP). The aim of this pilot study was to analyse the
effect of a multimodal physiotherapy program which combined supervised exercise with
laser-guided feedback and interferential current therapy on psychophysiological variables in
fighter pilots with FRNP.
Methods
Thirty-one fighter pilots were randomly assigned to two groups (Intervention Group: n = 14;
Control Group: n = 17). The intervention consisted of 8 treatment sessions (twice per week)
delivered over 4 weeks. The following primary outcomes were assessed: perceived pain
intensity (Numeric Pain Rating Scale–NPRS) and Heart Rate Variability (HRV; time-domain,
frequency-domain and non-linear variables). A number of secondary outcomes were also
assessed: myoelectric activity of the upper trapezius and sternocleidomastoid, pain cata strophizing (Pain Catastrophizing Scale–PCS) and kinesiophobia (TSK-11).
Results
Statistically significant differences within and between groups were observed for
all outcomes except for frequency domain and non-linear HRV variables. A significant
time*group effect (one-way ANOVA) in favour of the intervention group was found for all
variables (p<0.001). Effect sizes were large
Conclusions
The use of a multimodal physiotherapy program consisting of supervised exercise with
laser-guided feedback and interferential current appears to show clinical benefit in fighter
pilots with FRNP. | es |
