Pompage and Photobiomodulation on Pain, Range of Motion, and Quality of Life in Patients With Neck Pain

The photobiomodulation with a diode emitting light (LED) cluster device will be positioned on the cervical region of each patient (for 10 minutes each).

To perform cervical Pompage the patient lies comfortably on their back or sits upright. The therapist locates the target area on the cervical spine. Using gentle pressure, the therapist applies traction to the cervical spine, stretching the muscles and fascia. The traction is held for 20 seconds. The therapist then releases the traction, allowing the cervical spine to return to its neutral position. This process will be repeated 3 times, with adjustments made based on the patient's response and comfort level.

The photobiomodulation with a diode emitting light (LED) cluster device will be positioned on the cervical region of each patient (for 10 minutes each) with the device turned off (inactive), simulating the time with a recorded beep sound.
