BackgroundNeck pain is an often reported complaint for which the common underlying causes remain elusive. In the absence of an identifiable source, the diagnostic term mechanical neck pain of unknown origin has been suggested. Scientific evidence supports the combined use of manual therapy and exercise but remains equivocal about which type of manual intervention and exercise regime together are most effective.
ObjectiveTo compare the effectiveness of a cervical mobilisation (single-modal) versus a cervical mobilisation combined with yoga (multi-modal) on mechanical neck pain.
DesignRandomised cohort study with patient reported outcome assessment.
SettingTeaching clinic of British College of Osteopathic Medicine.
MethodsMale and female patients between 18 and 65 years of age who met the diagnostic criteria for mechanical neck pain were randomised into 3 groups: single-modal with 4 mobilisations; multi-modal consisting of mobilisation-first receiving 2 mobilisations prior to 2 yoga sessions and yoga-first with the opposite order. The Bournemouth Questionnaire for Neck Pain provided the primary (functional disability) and secondary outcome.
ResultsSixteen patients (41.0 ± 13.0 years) were randomised into a single-modal (N=8) and a multi-modal intervention (N=8) with an equal gender ratio. The multi-modal group showed a statistically significant improvement in functional disability before the administration of the third (p=0.020) and fourth (p=0.014) treatment compared to single-modal; though with no statistically significant overall difference between groups (p=0.083).
ConclusionThis study supports the superior effectiveness of an integrated mechanical neck pain intervention using manual therapy and exercise and it proposes applying cervical mobilisation and yoga exercise as a clinically effective combination.
