Study type | Interventional |
To date, the benefits of massage in chronic neck pain patients has only been investigated as a singular treatment, rather than as part of a treatment package. The need for this research has been highlighted in the literature (Ezzo et al, 2007; Haraldsson et al, 2006) This research aimed to establish whether the addition of massage to a program of exercise and manual therapy offers any additional benefits over exercise and manual therapy alone in the treatment of patients with chronic neck pain.

---|---|---|---|---|
Primary | Numerical Pain Rating Scale | Used to accurately measure pain. On this, patients verbally rated their usual and worst (in the last week) pain from 0 ("no pain") to 10 ("worst possible pain"). Its test-retest reliability in the chronic neck pain population was established as fair to moderate (intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) =.76; 95% CI, .51-.87) by Cleland et al (2008). Farrar et al (2010) found a difference of two points to be a clinically meaningful change in the chronic pain population. | Compared baseline to score after 8 weeks of treatment | No |
Secondary | Neck Disability Index | The NDI (Appendix 3) is the most widely used and most strongly validated instrument for assessing self-rated disability in patients with neck pain (Vernon, 2008).It includes ten self-report items covering activities of daily living, concentration and pain. Responses are on a 0-5 point scale, with a total score ranging from 0 (no pain or disability) to 50 (severe pain and disability; Gay et al, 2007). | Compared baseline to score after 8 weeks of treatment | No |
