Abstract:
Neck pain, also known as cervicalgia, is a common presentation in primary care and represents a substantial cost to the UK’s economy. The incidence of neck pain is likely to increase in the future, due to an ageing population. Understanding the anatomy of the spine helps to explain how dysfunction of the musculoskeletal system affects the central and peripheral nervous system. This article considers the management of common causes of neck pain in primary care and when referral to a specialist or the emergency department is indicated.

Abstract:
Background: Patients with chronic neck pain have a number of factors that could constitute a predisposition for respiratory dysfunction. However, the existing evidence is limited and not well established, and many questions such as the association of neck pain deficits with respiratory function remain unanswered. Thus, the aim of this study was to investigate whether patients with chronic neck have accompanying respiratory dysfunction and which are the neck pain deficits which principally predispose to these respiratory disturbances.Methods: In this case-control observational study, 45 patients with chronic idiopathic neck pain (>6 months, at least once per week) and 45 healthy age-, gender-, height- and weight-matched controls were voluntarily recruited. A third group of 10 patients with chronic non-spinal musculoskeletal pain was also used, but only for future reference. Participants' neck muscle strength and endurance were measured by an isometric neck dynamometer and craniocervical flexion test respectively. Range of movement was assessed by using an ultrasound-based motion analysis system. Forward head posture was assessed by obtaining lateral photographs and calculating the craniovertebral angle. Disability and neck pain intensity were assessed through the Neck Disability Index and Visual Analogue Scale. Psychological assessment was performed by using the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale, the Pain Catastrophizing Scale and the Tampa Scale for Kinesiophobia. Spirometry was used for assessing pulmonary volumes, flows and maximal voluntary ventilation. Respiratory muscle strength was assessed by using a mouth pressure meter. Finally, PaCO2 was assessed by using transcutaneous blood gas monitoring.Results: Patients with chronic neck pain were found to have weaker respiratory muscles than healthy controls (p<0.05). Their pulmonary volumes and maximal voluntary ventilation were also found to be reduced (p<0.05). Their mean respiratory flows were found to be unaffected (p>0.05), whereas their peak flows were reduced (p<0.05). Their partial pressure of carbon dioxide was also found to be affected (p<0.05), revealing existence of hypocapnia (PaCO2<35mmHg). The neck pain deficits that were found to be mostly correlated with these respiratory parameters were the neck muscle strength, neck muscle endurance, kinesiophobia, catastrophizing and pain intensity (r>0.3, p<0.05). Finally, the regression models revealed that neck pain deficits and especially neck muscle strength can provide a quite generalizable accurate estimation of this respiratory dysfunction (R2=0.28-0.52).Conclusions: Patients with chronic neck pain present dysfunction of their respiratory system which can be mainly manifested as respiratory weakness and/or hypocapnia. Pain intensity, neck muscle weakness, fatigue and kinesiophobia seem to be the most important deficits predisposing to this respiratory dysfunction. The understanding of this dysfunction could have a great impact on various clinical aspects notably patient assessment, rehabilitation and drug prescription. However, further research is suggested mainly directed towards optimizing treatment protocols and developing classification systems improving clinical reasoning.

Abstract:
Abstract The etiology of musculoskeletal disorders remains largely unclear, pain being the predominant complaint. The prevalence of neck pain (NP), shoulder pain (SP), and low back pain (LBP) increases drastically during adolescence. Potentially modifiable risk factors of NP, SP, and LBP should be identified at that age. First, this study evaluated the prevalence of NP, SP, LBP and peripheral pains (upper or lower extremities) and the prevalence of multiple pains. Second, the study determined the role of a set of potentially modifiable risk factors for adolescents’ NP, SP, and LBP (physical activity, inactivity, sedentary activities in cross-sectional study design and quantity and quality of sleep in follow-up study design). The study population belongs to the 1986 Northern Finland Birth Cohort (NFBC 1986), consisting of 9,479 children with an expected date of birth between July 1, 1985 and June 30, 1986 in the two northernmost provinces of Finland, Oulu and Lapland. NP, SP, and LBP were common at the ages 16 and 18, while medical consultations for these pains were less frequent. The prevalence of pain increased with age. Peripheral pains were rare. Surprisingly many adolescents reported multiple musculoskeletal pains. Girls were more likely to report pain than boys. Both low and high level of physical activity, some risk sport activities, high amount of sedentary activities, and insufficient quantity and quality of sleep increased the risk of NP, SP, and LBP in adolescence. It may be possible to reduce the occurrence of musculoskeletal pain by having a positive impact on potentially modifiable risk factors, such as physical activity, sedentary activities and sleep hygiene. Therefore, intervention studies focusing on these factors are needed in the future
Tiivistelmä Useimmiten tuki- ja liikuntaelinsairauksien tarkka syy jää epäselväksi ja kipu on niiden pääasiallinen ilmentymä. Niska-, hartia- ja alaselkäkipujen esiintyvyys väestössä nousee merkittävästi teini-iässä. Tämän vuoksi niska-, hartia- ja alaselkäkivun riskitekijöitä tulisikin tutkia nuoruudessa, jotta niihin päästäisiin vaikuttamaan ajoissa. Tässä väitöskirjassa selvitettiin niska-, hartia-, alaselkä- ja laaja-alaisten tuki- ja liikuntaelinkipujen esiintyvyyttä nuorilla. Päätavoite oli kuitenkin tutkia liikunnan, eri urheilulajien, liikkumattomuuden, istumisen ja unen laadun ja määrän yhteyttä niska-, hartia- ja alaselkäkipujen esiintyvyyteen. Tutkimusaineisto muodostui Pohjois-Suomen syntymäkohortin 1986 nuorista, joiden laskettu syntymäaika oli 1.7.1985–30.6.1986. Nuorille lähetettiin 16-vuotiaana postikysely, joka sisälsi tuki- ja liikuntaelinoirekyselyn, kysymyksiä liikunnan, istumisen ja unen määrästä ja laadusta, sekä muista elämäntavoista. Kahden vuoden kuluttua, 18-vuotiaana lähetettiin toinen kysely joka sisälsi mm. tuki- ja liikuntaelinoirekyselyn. Tulokset osoittavat että niska-, hartia- ja alaselkäkivut olivat yleisiä nuoruudessa, joskin hoitoa vaativat kivut ja raajojen kipuoireilu olivat harvinaisia. Laaja-alaiset tuki- ja liikuntaelinkivut olivat odotettua yleisempiä. Tytöt oireilivat enemmän kuin pojat ja oireilu lisääntyi iän myötä. Hyvin aktiivinen liikunnan harrastaminen (6h/vko tai enemmän ripeää liikuntaa) ja erityisesti tietyt riskilajit olivat yhteydessä suurempaan niska-, hartia- ja alaselkäkipujen esiintyvyyteen. Samoin suuri istumisen määrä, riittämätön uni ja huono unen laatu lisäsivät kipujen todennäköisyyttä. Nuorten tuki- ja liikuntaelinkipuja voitaisiin mahdollisesti vähentää vaikuttamalla muunneltavissa oleviin riskitekijöihin, kuten vähentämällä istumista, lisäämällä terveysliikuntaa, sekä parantamalla unitottumuksia. Tämän takia jatkossa tarvitaan näihin riskitekijöihin kohdistuvia interventiotutkimuksia

Abstract:
Chronic neck pain can occur in a proportion of individuals who have suffered a whiplash injury and also in individuals that have not experienced a trauma to the neck. The mechanisms that cause chronic pain are unclear, and whether they differ in traumatic or non-traumatic onset is unknown. A review of the background literature identified differences in muscle activation for individuals with chronic neck pain, following a whiplash injury and from a non traumatic onset, compared to healthy controls. However, differences in the combined action or synergy of superficial neck muscles in these chronic neck pain groups, during non-forced activities, had not been widely reported. A new methodology was developed to address this area of research. A pilot study was undertaken to establish the reliability of the method and to identify areas for refinement. The main study employed the refined methodology to determine possible differences in activation and synergies of the upper trapezius and sternocleidomastoid muscles, alongside correlations of subjective pain and fatigue with surface electromyographic measures, using linear array electrodes. Some differences in muscles activation and synergy were observed between the groups. Individuals showed different strengths of relationships between subjective and objective measures and different proportions of significant correlations were shown between groups.

Abstract:
Neck pain is common among occupations like dentistry and office work because workers in these professions tend to hold their necks in static flexion for extended periods of time. But there are few products available to help alleviate workers’ neck pain while still allowing them to carry out their daily tasks in varying environments. For example, office workers can use products like ergonomic chairs and desks to help promote proper posture, but these arrangements restrict workers to workspaces equipped with their necessary equipment and proper setup. Meanwhile, in the medical field, products like loupes, lights, and ergonomic workbenches are available to enhance visibility and reduce workers’ neck flexion angles. But these products have yet to fully eliminate the problem of neck pain especially in occupations like dentistry where static neck flexion is common. Therefore, the goal of this project is to develop a new neck support technology which alleviates neck pain caused by static neck flexion while still allowing workers full mobility and functionality in their workplace. Our design decreases muscle loading on the neck during neck flexion by reducing the moment on the neck using a device which acts as a “headrest” to support the head. In turn, the device redistributes forces to the upper body while still allowing full range of motion to the user. More specifically, our design applies an opposing force to the user’s forehead during neck flexion via a force generator attached to a headband which is attached to the head. The force generator is anchored to the upper body to permit use in varying environments without the need for special equipment or setups. We confirmed our design decreases muscle loading by building a prototype then performing surface electromyography (EMG) testing which showed not just a statistically significant reduction in neck muscle activity using one-way analysis of variance, but more distinctly a unanimous decrease in neck muscle activity during neck flexion for all seven test subjects with an overall average decrease of 60% among all subjects and 80% for certain subjects. Once we confirmed our design’s effectiveness in reducing neck muscle activity during static neck flexion which implied the ability to reduce neck strain, we improved our prototype’s functionality and aesthetics based on test subject feedback, our own observations, and dentists’ comments. Then, we performed workplace testing on two dentists with one dentist’s work focused mainly on hygiene while the other dentist’s work focused mostly on dental procedures. Overall, both dentists offered helpful feedback from different dental field perspectives for future prototype improvements with regards to comfort and functionality. They also provided promising comments regarding their visions for future device use which included training dental students on proper posture and applications in other occupations like office work and surgery.

Abstract:
The aim of this study was to evaluate the prevalence of upper body quadrant pain among ultrasonographists and to evaluate the association between individual ergonomics, musculoskeletal disorders, and occurrence of neck pain. A hundred and ten Belgian and Dutch male and female hospital ultrasonographists were consecutively enrolled in the study. Data on work-related ergonomic and musculoskeletal disorders were collected with an electronic inquiry, including questions about ergonomics, symptoms and work related factors. Subjects with the screen on their left had significantly more neck pain. Depending on the work space, high-low tables increased the chance on developing neck pain. A screen on eye level caused less neck. Employees with a fixed working space were less susceptible to arm pain. The prevalence of arm pain was significantly higher on the vascular department compared to the radiology, urology and gynecology departments. In the prevention of upper limb pain in ultrasonographists, attention should be paid to the work environment in general, and to the more specific aspects of the ultrasound workstation layout. Primary ergonomic prevention could help the ultrasonographist to work painless during his medical tasks.

Abstract:
Work-related chronic neck pain is a growing condition in the United States that accounts for 56% to 65% of all occupational disabling injuries [1]. Fifty-four percent of working adults suffer from chronic neck pain within any six-month period and 5% of working adults report that neck pain significantly inhibits daily activities [2]. These conditions have been linked to poor posture in the cervical spine and shoulder [3]. Poor cervical spine posture commonly includes simultaneous extension in the upper vertebrae (C1-C3) and flexion in lower vertebrae (C7-C4). This posture moves the head anterior to the torso and increases the load carried by the upper trapezius (UT) [4]. To maintain this posture, the UT is activated and elevates the scapula. Chronic activation of the UT has been correlated to chronic neck pain [5]. Although there is an apparent correlation between poor posture and neck pain, it is unclear whether neck pain causes poor posture or if poor posture causes neck pain.

Abstract:
ABSTRACT Chronic neck pain is something common which can be hard to treat. There is limited evidence for the efficiency of differ-ent alternative therapies. This research aimed to assess the efficiency of the traditional Chinese massage on the range of motion and intensity of pain in the cervical area of the spinal column. Objects and methods: 38 patients with chronic neck pain were randomly divided into experimental and control groups. The control group performed only controlled therapeutic exercises. The patients from the experimental group were subjected to ten Chinese therapeutic massages and therapeutic exercises twice a week. The range of motion in the neck was assessed with a universal goniometer for flexion, potations, and lateral flexion. The intensity of the pain was assessed with the visual-analogical scale. At the end of the research, we found statistically significant, better results in the EG in the left rotation (58,4° ± 2°), right rotation (54,4° ± 2,1°), right lateral flexion (32,6° ± 4,7°), and left lateral flexion (37,2° ± 5,6°), with a statistical significance level (p < .05). Tracing the dynamics in the pain symptoms showed a reduction in the pain in both groups of patients, with a significant downward trend in the experimental group. Conclusion: Traditional Chinese massagе alleviates pain symptoms and relaxes the increased muscle tone, which leads to an increase in the range of motion in the neck area. Compared to routine physiotherapy, the Chinese massage methods has a proven effect on the traced indicators.

Abstract:
Chronic neck pain from whiplash affects over 10 million people annually in the United States [1]. Many studies have indentified the facet joint as a possible source of neck pain due to its innervation by nociceptive fibers [2]. In particular, in vivo studies have reported that distraction of the facet joint and its capsule produces both persistent firing of capsule pain fibers and persistent behavioral hypersensitivity and pain symptoms (i.e. mechanical allodynia) [2,3].

Abstract:
The cervical facet joint has been identified as the source of neck pain in up to 60% of the cases [1], with the C6/C7 facet joint being particularly susceptible to injury during painful mechanical neck injuries [2]. The facet joint is innervated by both mechanoreceptors and nociceptors (i.e. pain receptors) [3,4]. Both receptor types respond to manipulation of the facet joint and afferent activation is related to the magnitude of joint loading [5]. Also, tensile stretch of the capsular ligament in vivo to magnitudes of strain simulating those during neck injury also produces sustained behavioral sensitivity (pain) and upregulates proteins involved in nociception [6]. Although anatomic and biomechanical studies suggest that facet capsule loading has a role in the development of pain, the relationship between capsule tension, the joint’s innervation, and the production of pain is still unclear.

Abstract:
Review question / Objective: Manipulative therapy has been increasingly applied to alleviate those who suffer from chronic neck pain. This systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) aimed to determine the efficacy of manipulative therapy for chronic neck pain. P: Patients with Chronic Neck Pain. I: Manipulative therapy. C: Exercise, rehabilitation, or other physical therapy. O: Pain intensity and Neck disability. S: Randomized controlled trials. Condition being studied: Pain in the neck is a disagreeable sensory and emotional experience associated with the potential or actual damage of tissue that affects the cervical region. Pain in the neck that lasts for a long period is a serious problem for public health that causes a lot of pressure. Manipulative therapy is usually considered an alternative treatment option with the advantages of fewer verse effects and lower treatment costs compared to exercise. Therefore, this study retrieved the relevant randomized controlled trials of manipulative therapy in the treatment of chronic neck pain and conducted a comprehensive quantitative analysis to offer an evidence-based reference for the clinical application of manipulative therapy.

Abstract:
Objectives. To evaluate the effectiveness and comparative effectiveness of opioid, nonopioid pharmacologic, and nonpharmacologic therapy in patients with specific types of acute pain, including effects on pain, function, quality of life, adverse events, and long-term use of opioids. Data sources. Electronic databases (Ovid® MEDLINE®, PsycINFO®, Embase®, the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, and the Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews) to August 2020, reference lists, and a Federal Register notice. Review methods. Using predefined criteria and dual review, we selected randomized controlled trials (RCTs) of outpatient therapies for eight acute pain conditions: low back pain, neck pain, other musculoskeletal pain, neuropathic pain, postoperative pain following discharge, dental pain (surgical or nonsurgical), pain due to kidney stones, and pain due to sickle cell disease. Meta-analyses were conducted on pharmacologic therapy for dental pain and kidney stone pain, and likelihood of repeat or rescue medication use and adverse events. The magnitude of effects was classified as small, moderate, or large using previously defined criteria, and strength of evidence was assessed. Results. One hundred eighty-three RCTs on the comparative effectiveness of therapies for acute pain were included. Opioid therapy was probably less effective than nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) for surgical dental pain and kidney stones, and might be similarly effective as NSAIDs for low back pain. Opioids and NSAIDs were more effective than acetaminophen for surgical dental pain, but opioids were less effective than acetaminophen for kidney stone pain. For postoperative pain, opioids were associated with increased likelihood of repeat or rescue analgesic use, but effects on pain intensity were inconsistent. Being prescribed an opioid for acute low back pain or postoperative pain was associated with increased likelihood of use of opioids at long-term followup versus not being prescribed, based on observational studies. Heat therapy was probably effective for acute low back pain, spinal manipulation might be effective for acute back pain with radiculopathy, acupressure might be effective for acute musculoskeletal pain, an opioid might be effective for acute neuropathic pain, massage might be effective for some types of postoperative pain, and a cervical collar or exercise might be effective for acute neck pain with radiculopathy. Most studies had methodological limitations. Effect sizes were primarily small to moderate for pain, the most commonly evaluated outcome. Opioids were associated with increased risk of short-term adverse events versus NSAIDs or acetaminophen, including any adverse event, nausea, dizziness, and somnolence. Serious adverse events were uncommon for all interventions, but studies were not designed to assess risk of overdose, opioid use disorder, or long-term harms. Evidence on how benefits or harms varied in subgroups was lacking. Conclusions. Opioid therapy was associated with decreased or similar effectiveness as an NSAID for some acute pain conditions, but with increased risk of short-term adverse events. Evidence on nonpharmacological therapies was limited, but heat therapy, spinal manipulation, massage, acupuncture, acupressure, a cervical collar, and exercise were effective for specific acute pain conditions. Research is needed to determine the comparative effectiveness of therapies for sickle cell pain, acute neuropathic pain, neck pain, and management of postoperative pain following discharge; effects of therapies for acute pain on non-pain outcomes; effects of therapies on long-term outcomes, including long-term opioid use; and how benefits and harms of therapies vary in subgroups.
