| Résumé : | Background Patients who have undergone cervical surgery may present pain and dysfunction in the upper limb, which is often referred to as failed neck surgery syndrome. Little is known about the effects of an exercise program plus manual therapy in the treatment of prolonged neuropathic pain of the upper quadrant in a patient with failed neck surgery. Case description A 66-year-old woman consulted for neuropathic pain and dysfunction during grasping activities, as a result of failed neck surgery after 12 months. Clinical, functional, and electromyographic measurements were recorded at baseline and after treatment. The patient underwent a treatment for six weeks based on manual therapy for the upper limb and cervical spine and an exercise program for the scapular muscles, rotator cuff and wrist extensor muscles. Outcomes Positive clinically significant changes were observed in the Neuropathic Pain Questionnaire (DN4) (baseline = 7 points; post-treatment = 4 points), Neck Disability Index (NDI) (baseline = 36; post-treatment = 18 points), QuickDASH (baseline = 78; post- treatment = 32 points), Upper Limb Neurodynamic Test 1 (ULNT-1) (baseline = 75°; post- treatment = 42°) and grip strength (GS) (baseline = 23 kgf; post-treatment = to 32 kgf). Improvements in the surface electromyographic (sEMG) activity of the upper trapezius (UT), infraspinatus (IS) and radial wrist extensors (RWE) muscles also seemed to occur after treatment. Conclusion Treatment helped relieve neuropathic pain, decrease neck disability, and improve general upper limb function. |
