Forty-four patients with cervical disc herniation were randomized to receive either conventional physiotherapy (n=22) or conventional physiotherapy combined with local vibration therapy using a percussion massage gun (n=22). The primary outcome was pain, measured using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS), and secondary outcomes included joint position sense, assessed by the Laser Pointer Assisted Angle Repetition Test, kinesiophobia using the Tampa Scale for Kinesiophobia, and cervical dysfunction using the Neck Disability Index. Outcomes were assessed at baseline and after three weeks. Overall, the study found that while both groups showed significant improvements in all outcomes, the vibration group demonstrated greater efficacy in reducing activity-related pain, whereas the conventional group showed superior improvement in joint position sense for left rotation. These results suggest that local vibration therapy is a beneficial adjunct to conventional treatment for cervical disc herniation.
