Clinical Trial Summary

This feasibility project aims to evaluate the effectiveness of chiropractic care combined with Tai Chi (TC) training to reduce pain and disability in adults with chronic non-specific neck pain (CNNP).


Clinical Trial Description

This is a three-armed, mixed-methods pilot study. 48 adults with CNNP will be randomized to receive either 1) 10 chiropractic treatments (delivered over 16 weeks) with concurrent TC training (16 weeks of group training) plus enhanced usual care (EUC) with CNNP educational materials); 2) chiropractic care plus EUC; or 3) EUC alone. Individuals will be followed for 8 weeks after the end of their intervention period to assess longer-term outcomes. Our primary outcomes will be focused on the feasibility of recruiting, retaining and monitoring the safety of adults with CNNP into our trial. Secondary clinical outcomes include following patients centered-outcomes: pain, disability, health-related quality of life, self-efficacy, cognitive and affective outcomes (postural awareness, pain catastrophizing, fear of movement, interoceptive awareness). ;
