Neck Pain Clinical Trial
Official title:
Manipulation, Exercise, and Self-Care for Neck Pain
The purpose of this study is to compare three treatments for neck pain: 1) rehabilitative exercise, 2) chiropractic spinal manipulation combined with rehabilitative exercise, and 3) self-care education.
Neck pain is very common, afflicting 10% of the population at any given time. Despite its
significant socioeconomic impact, neck pain has been poorly investigated. The broad, long
term objective of this interdisciplinary research is to identify effective therapies for
neck pain and to increase our knowledge of this problematic condition. This
multidisciplinary, randomized clinical trial is based on the investigators' previous neck
pain research and will assess three treatment approaches for chronic neck pain:
1. rehabilitative exercise
2. chiropractic spinal manipulation combined with rehabilitative exercise
3. self-care education (a minimal intervention control)
The primary aim of this study is to examine the relative efficacy of the three interventions
in terms of patient-rated outcomes in the short term (after 12 weeks) and long term (after
52 weeks) for chronic neck pain. Secondary aims are to assess the relative
cost-effectiveness and cost utility of the three treatments, evaluate changes in objective
cervical spine function, assess if cervical function is associated with changes in
patient-rated outcomes, identify predictors of outcome and finally, to describe patients'
interpretations of outcome measures used in clinical trials.
Using previously demonstrated recruitment methods, 270 participants with chronic neck pain
will be recruited. Self-reported outcome measures will be collected at baseline and 4, 12,
26 and 52 weeks; objective outcome measures will be assessed by blinded examiners at
baseline and 12 weeks.
Chiropractic investigators from Northwestern Health Sciences University are collaborating
with medical clinicians from the University of Minnesota, the Minneapolis Medical Research
Foundation, and the Pain Assessment and Rehabilitation Center. This established team of
investigators will work together in all phases of this innovative study, leading to
dissemination and publication of study results and hypothesis generation for future
research. This trial will yield important information allowing health care practitioners,
policy makers and patients to make better-informed decisions regarding treatment choices for
chronic neck pain. Importantly, it will serve to increase the extremely limited research
that currently exists for this significant health-care condition.
