Objective How interventions are reported can impact the ability to implement these intervention in clinical practice. Therefore, our aim is to assess the reporting of massage interventions in randomised controlled trials for patients with neck pain. Data sources This manuscript concerns a secondary analysis of trials evaluating massage for neck pain selected for a scoping review. An updated literature search was completed using four databases to 31 July 2023. Review methods Trials were selected that evaluate massage interventions. Two independent assessors extracted descriptive information, methodological quality (PEDro-scale) and assessed completeness of reporting of the intervention using the Template for Intervention Description and Replication (TIDier-checklist). We present frequencies of the extracted data. Results We included 35 trials (2840 patients) with neck pain. Most trials (n = 23) included patients with chronic non-specific neck pain. We found a wide variety of massage interventions from Chinese massage, Swedish massage to myofascial release. In addition, the dose, number of sessions and the duration of the intervention varied widely. The methodological quality overall was fair to good (varied between 4–8/10), and we found a moderate completeness of reporting. All trials provided the name of the intervention, 30 (86%) provided a rationale and 26 (74%) trials described details of the massage intervention. Conclusion The massage interventions were moderately described in trials in patients with neck pain, but provided enough information to guide the decision making for designing future Network Meta-analysis as to what trials need to be considered when grouping massage interventions in a clinically relevant way.

BackgroundThe magnitude of placebo effects from physical and psychological ‘sham’ is unknown but could impact efficacy trials and treatment understanding. To quantify placebo effects, this systematic review of three‐armed randomised controlled trials (RCTs) of physical and psychological interventions for pain compared outcomes in ‘sham’ control intervention and non‐exposure arms.MethodsRCTs with treatment, ‘sham’ control intervention, and non‐exposure groups were included, enrolling adults with any pain. A protocol was pre‐registered (PROSPERO: CRD42023413324), and twelve databases searched from 2008 to July 2023. Trial methods and blinding were analysed descriptively and risk of bias assessed. Meta‐analysis of pain measures at short‐, medium‐ and long‐term was performed with random‐effects models of standardised mean differences (SMD).Studies were sub‐grouped according to control intervention type.ResultsSeventeen RCTs were included. The average short‐term placebo effect was small (0.21 SMD, 0.1–0.33 95% CI, p = 0.0002, 1440 participants). It showed no heterogeneity (Tau2 = 0.1, I2 = 11%, p = 0.3), preventing meta‐regression analyses of effect modifiers. However, sub‐group analyses revealed larger placebo effects in manual control interventions compared to disabled devices and miscellaneous control interventions. Overall, placebo analgesia accounted for 39% of treatments’ short‐term effectiveness. No placebo effects were found at medium‐term (7 RCTs, 381 participants) or long‐term follow‐up (3 RCTs, 173 participants).ConclusionsThe observed placebo analgesia has mechanistic and methodological implications, though its clinical importance may be limited. Control intervention design affects placebo effects, highlighting the importance of considering methodology in RCT interpretation. Review limitations include a small number of long‐term studies and sample heterogeneity.SignificanceThis systematic review directly quantifies placebo effects from physical and psychological ‘sham’ control interventions and compares them to treatments’ overall effectiveness. By doing so, the review enhances our understanding of placebo effects, their relative contribution in clinical trials, and their susceptibly to trial design. It poses further questions regarding the influence of blinding, participant expectations, and features of the therapeutic context. Overall, the insights provided by this review carry methodological significance and are important for the interpretation and synthesis of efficacy trials in this field.

“…Open pose requires all interconnected limbs to generate pose recognition results directly for all individuals. Open pose generates two parts of output: one part calibrates the type of area in the input screen, including limb types such as elbows and necks, as well as the background; while the other part of it encodes "connectivity" information [41,42].…”

High Speed and Accuracy of Animation 3D Pose Recognition Based on an Improved Deep Convolution Neural Network

Pose recognition in character animations is an important avenue of research in computer graphics. However, the current use of traditional artificial intelligence algorithms to recognize animation gestures faces hurdles such as low accuracy and speed. Therefore, to overcome the above problems, this paper proposes a real-time 3D pose recognition system, which includes both facial and body poses, based on deep convolutional neural networks and further designs a single-purpose 3D pose estimation system. First, we transformed the human pose extracted from the input image to an abstract pose data structure. Subsequently, we generated the required character animation at runtime based on the transformed dataset. This challenges the conventional concept of monocular 3D pose estimation, which is extremely difficult to achieve. It can also achieve real-time running speed at a resolution of 384 fps. The proposed method was used to identify multiple-character animation using multiple datasets (Microsoft COCO 2014, CMU Panoptic, Human3.6M, and JTA). The results indicated that the improved algorithm improved the recognition accuracy and performance by approximately 3.5% and 8–10 times, respectively, which is significantly superior to other classic algorithms. Furthermore, we tested the proposed system on multiple pose-recognition datasets. The 3D attitude estimation system speed can reach 24 fps with an error of 100 mm, which is considerably less than that of the 2D attitude estimation system with a speed of 60 fps. The pose recognition based on deep learning proposed in this study yielded surprisingly superior performance, proving that the use of deep-learning technology for image recognition has great potential.
