This clinical trial focuses on testing the efficacy of different digital interventions to promote re-engagement in cancer-related long-term follow-up care for adolescent and young adult (AYA) survivors of childhood cancer.
Dry needling is a therapeutic modality used to treat a number of neuromusculoskeletal conditions. Practice trends suggest it is becoming widely used by Physical Therapists to help patients manage symptoms associated with CGH, however, there is limited scientific evidence demonstrating meaningful impact for dry needling for CGH. Manual therapy (thrust and non-thrust mobilizations) to the cervical spine are well researched and have an established treatment effect for managing symptoms related to CGH. The purpose of this study is to compare outcomes (1 week, 1 month, 3 months, 12 months) for patients with CGH treated with cervical-cranial dry needling or pragmatically applied orthopedic manual therapy to the cervical spine. In addition to either the cervical-cranial dry needling or manual therapy to the cervical spine, patients will also receive patient education, thoracic manipulation, and exercise.
