Official Title: Acute Effects of Cervical Manual Therapy on Retinal and Choroidal Perfusion Assessed by Optical Coherence Tomography Angiography: A Prospective Randomized Sham-Controlled Trial
Brief Summary:
This study evaluates the acute effects of cervical manual therapy on retinal and choroidal microvascular perfusion using optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA). In this prospective randomized sham-controlled trial, 100 patients with chronic mechanical neck pain were randomly assigned to receive either cervical high-velocity low-amplitude manipulation combined with Maitland mobilization (manual therapy group) or sham treatment. Bilateral OCTA examinations were performed at baseline and at 15, 30, 60, and…
