ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVES: Results from past studies have provided evidence that cervical traction is of benefit in the treatment of neck pain, but there is no consensus among clinicians regarding the amount of traction weight to be employed during treatment that will reduce the side effects (vertigo, nausea, mild headache, blurred vision and migraine) associated with this modality, if not property administered. The study was designed to investigate the cardiovascular responses and side effects associated with three different cervical traction weights (7.5% total body weight (TBW), 10% TBW and 15% TBW) and to establish the ideal cervical traction weight with minimal side effects and with optimal/highest therapeutic efficacy. This study was carried out in order to establish a safe and efficacious policy in cervical traction therapy.
