Objectives: This study aims to evaluate the efficacy of spa therapy on pain and the quality of life in patients with chronic mechanical neck pain. Patients and methods:Seventy patients who applied to our outpatient clinic with chronic mechanical neck pain lasting for 12 weeks were included in the study. Patients were randomized either to spa therapy group (7 males, 28 females; mean age 43.08±9.76 years; range 26 to 66 years) or to exercise therapy group (5 males, 30 females; 46.45±9.65 years; range 27 to 65 years). Spa therapy group received a total of 15 sessions of thermal water, mud therapy, and classic massage to cervical region. Both exercise and spa therapy groups performed home exercise program once a day for 15 days. All the patients were evaluated before treatment, at the first week and at the third month after treatment, a total of three times. In each control; visual analog scale, global assessment of the patient (Patient's Global Assessment and Physician's Global Assessment), Neck Pain Disability Scale, and Nottingham Health Profile were assessed. Results: When the measurements at first week were compared to baseline, significant improvements were observed in all the parameters in both groups. However, the decreases in visual analog scale and Neck Pain Disability Scale at the first week after treatment were more significant in spa therapy group compared to exercise therapy group. We observed no statistically significant difference in all the parameters between two groups when the measurements at the third month were compared to baseline. Conclusion:The combination of spa therapy with exercise therapy is superior to exercise therapy alone in decreasing pain and improving functional capacity in the early period after treatment.

“…42 The NDI, a neckspecific questionnaire, has been cited in the literature as the criterion standard for many other questionnaires and is the most valid of the tools reported. 41,50,52,69 The ASPS, CSOQ, CPH42, and NDI were all responsive to change with some variation. 46,48 The CNFDS was tested on patients with chronic neck pain and showed moderate to good validity.…”

Objective: The purpose of this literature review was to synthesize the existing literature on various definitions, classifications, selection criteria, and outcome measures used in different studies in patients with neck pain. Methods: A literature search of MEDLINE and CINAHL through September 2008 was performed to gather articles on the reliability, validity, and utility of a wide variety of outcome measurements for neck pain. Results: Different types of definitions appear in the literature based on anatomical location, etiology, severity, and duration of symptoms. Classifications according to severity and duration of pain and the establishment of selection criteria seem to play a crucial role in study designs and in clinical settings to ensure homogeneous groups and effective interventions. A series of objective tests and subjective self-report measures are useful in assessing physical abilities, pain, functional ability, psychosocial well-being, general health status, and quality of life in patients with neck pain. Self-administered questionnaires are commonly used in clinical practice and research projects. Conclusions: Because of multidimensionality of chronic neck pain, more than just one index may be needed to gain a complete health profile of the patient with neck pain. The instruments chosen should be reliable, valid, and able to evaluate the effects of treatment.

Comparison of the Effectiveness of Two Different Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy Regimens in the Treatment of Patients With Myofascial Pain Syndrome

et al. 2014

Objectives: This study aims to compare the effectiveness of two different regimens of extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT) in the treatment of myofascial pain syndrome. Patients and methods: Sixty four patients with active myofascial trigger points in the trapezius muscle were included in this study. Patients were randomized into two groups as patients undergoing a single session of low-energy [energy flux density (ED=0.25 mJ/mm 2 )] ESWT (group 1) and patients undergoing three sessions of ESWT with the same energy density, with one-week intervals (group 2). The effectiveness of therapy was evaluated using the number of trigger points, the Patient Global Assessment and Physician Global Assessment scales, the Neck Pain and Disability Scale, the Nottingham Health Profile and the Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale prior to therapy and at the end of three and 12 weeks. Results: No serious complication associated with ESWT application was observed. At the end of the treatment, statistically significant improvements were achieved in the number of trigger points, pain, quality of life, and anxiety scores of patients in both groups (p<0.01). When the groups were compared regarding the effectiveness of the treatment, the improvements in the group receiving three sessions of ESWT were higher except for the anxiety scores (p<0.05). Conclusion: Low-energy ESWT is a safe and well-tolerated therapy for patients with myofascial pain syndrome and can be more efficient when administered as a three-session treatment regimen.

Assessment of pain and disability in patients with chronic neck pain: reliability and construct validity of the Turkish version of the neck pain and disability scale

Abstract: Despite its major limitations, our results seem to support previous findings of the English and French versions of the Neck Pain and Disability Scale, indicating that this functional scale is valid and reliable.
