Research Results

Methods and Samples

_{Randomized controlled trials}

Forty patients with neck pain were randomized into two groups: one group used a polyurethane cervical traction massage pillow and the other group used a regular pillow. The treatment period was 4 weeks.

Our plant recruited 40 patients with neck pain in a hospital in Dongguan last year who met the study inclusion criteria, such as pain level, age, and gender. Patients who met the criteria were randomly assigned to the polyurethane cervical traction massage pillow group and the ordinary pillow group, and the two groups were observed for one month. The pain relief, sleep quality, and other indicators of the two groups were compared. In order to ensure the reliability and reproducibility of the study results, strict control in sample selection, random grouping, data collection, and statistical analysis is needed.

Research Results

The results of this study showed that patients with neck pain using a polyurethane cervical traction massage pillow showed more significant improvement than those using a regular pillow. With a treatment period of 4 weeks, patients using the polyurethane cervical traction massage pillow reported less neck pain and a higher quality of life. Therefore, we recommend that patients with neck pain should prioritize polyurethane cervical traction massage pillows when choosing a treatment option.

Insights and Implications

The clinical significance of this study is that it provides a new treatment option for patients with neck pain. In addition, this study provides some insight into subsequent studies, such as the effect of using a polyurethane cervical traction massage pillow and pillow on sleep quality and sleep posture, and the effect of using a polyurethane cervical traction massage pillow and pillow in combination with other methods and devices, and so on.

Discussion

Limitations

이 연구의 한계는 주로 표본 크기가 비교적 작고 목 통증 환자 만 포함되므로 다른 유형의 자궁 경부 척추 장애가있는 환자에게는 일반화 될 수 없다는 것입니다. 또한,이 연구는 무작위 대조 시험을 사용했기 때문에 무작위 배정 오류가있었습니다. 마지막으로,이 연구는 폴리 우레탄 자궁 경부 트랙션 마사지 베개와 일반 베개의 비교 만 포함했으며 다른 유형의 베개 또는 목 트랙션 장치의 비교를 포함하지 않았습니다. 따라서이 연구의 결과를 검증하고 다른 치료법의 사용의 효과를 탐구하기위한 추가 연구가 필요합니다.

추천하다

이 연구의 결과를 바탕으로 목 통증 환자의 목 통증 치료 옵션으로 폴리 우레탄 자궁 경부 트랙션 마사지 베개를 사용하는 것이 좋습니다. 또한, 자궁 경부 척추 장애가 다른 환자의 폴리 우레탄 자궁 경부 견인 마사지 베개 및 베개의 효과를 비교하기 위해 더 많은 연구를 수행하고 폴리 우레탄 자궁 경부 트랙션 마사지 베개와 베개가 수면 품질 및 수면 자세에 미치는 영향을 심층적으로 연구 할 것을 권장합니다. 또한 치료 효과를 향상시키기 위해 폴리 우레탄 자궁 경부 견인 베개 및 베개와 함께 다른 방법과 장치의 사용을 고려하는 것이 좋습니다.

결론

목 통증은 널리 알려진 관심사이며, 폴리 우레탄 넥 들새와 전통 베개 사이의 선택은이를 해결하는 데 중요한 역할을합니다. 둘 다 지원과 편안함을 제공하지만 디자인, 기능 및 이점이 다릅니다. 자궁 경부 건강을 위해 특별히 설계된 폴리 우레탄 넥 들림차는 표적화 된 릴리프를 제공하며 목 통증을 완화시키는 유망한 결과를 보여주었습니다. 반면에 전통적인 베개는 일반적인 편안함을 제공합니다. 개인의 요구에 따라 선택하여 최적의 자궁 경부 건강 및 수면 품질을 보장하는 것이 필수적입니다.
