Is FDA regulated | No |
Health authority | United States: Institutional Review Board |
Study type | Interventional |
The objective of this pilot study is to determine the feasibility of a large-scale trial. The primary objective is to determine if manipulation applied to the cervical and thoracic spines is more effective than mobilization applied to the cervical and thoracic spines for the management of patients with mechanical neck pain.

Eligibility |
Inclusion Criteria: - subjects aged 18-70 years old with a chief complaint of reproducible neck pain and an NDI score of 10 or greater. Exclusion Criteria: - Subjects are excluded if they have had recent whiplash or significant trauma, demonstrate red flag items such as malignancy, radiculopathy, myelopathy, fracture, metabolic disease, rheumatoid arthritis, long-term steroid use, or history of neck surgery. Additional exclusion criteria including neck pain of <2 on the NPRS, PSFS = 8, no prior treatment within 6 weeks time, upper limb symptoms, or any pending litigation. Finally, if a therapist determines the patient has a neck condition that is highly irritable where the manipulation is not appropriate, they will be excluded. |

Type | Measure | Description | Time frame | Safety issue |
---|---|---|---|---|
Primary | Change in Neck Disability Index (NDI) | The NDI is a reliable and valid outcome tool for patients with neck pain. It is a self-report measurement tool that was specifically constructed to measure the degree of disability for persons with neck pain. There are 10 total items that are ranked from 0-5 giving a total possible number of 50 points. The larger the score, the greater the disability for that individual. | Initial evaluation, 2nd visit expected average day 3, and discharge expected average 4 weeks. | No |
Secondary | change in numeric pain rating scale (NPRS) | The NPRS is used to determine the patient's pain level. The patient is asked to rate their level of pain on an 11-point numerical scale 0-10 with 0 being "no pain" and 10 being the "worst possible pain." | initial evaluation, 2nd visit expected average day 3, discharge expected average 4 weeks | No |
Secondary | Change in patient specific functional scale (PSFS) | The PSFS is a three item questionnaire where the patient is asked to list 3 items they are having difficulty with and rate them on a 0-10 scale with 0 being unable to perform and 10 being able to perform with no limitation. | Initial evaluation, 2nd visit expected average day 3, and at discharge expected average 4 weeks. | No |
Secondary | Change in the global rating of change | The global rating of change is a 15-point scale where 0 is no change in condition, -7 is a very great deal worse and +7 is a very great deal better. The patient is asked to rate their overall current current condition compared with when they first started care. | after visit 2 (expected average day 3) and again at discharge expected average 4 weeks. | No |
Secondary | Percent recovery | The patient is asked to rate their overall improvement on a scale of 0% (no better) to 100% completely better | Measured at discharge expected average of 4 weeks into protocol | No |
Secondary | Change in deep cervical flexor endurance test | The patient lies in supine and maximally tucks chin to activate the deep cervical flexors. The patient then is asked to lift their head 0.5-1.0 inches off the table and maintain the chin tuck and hold for as long as possible. The investigator times the hold and records when the position cannot be maintained any longer. | Initial examination, after 2 visit (expected average day 3) and at discharge ( expected average 4 weeks), | No |
