“…Another systematic review without meta-analysis found that motor control exercises may not be any more effective than a standard strengthening exercise program [33]. Yoga was found to have moderate positive effects on pain (SMD −1.13 (95% CI:−1.60 to −0.66)) and disability (SMD = −0.92 (95% CI: −1.38 to −0.47)) over other treatments (mostly other exercise) for people with chronic non-traumatic neck pain [17] but the results had high heterogeneity, indicating caution is required with interpretation.…”

Neck pain, whether from a traumatic event such as a motor vehicle crash or of a non-traumatic nature, is a leading cause of worldwide disability. This narrative review evaluated the evidence from systematic reviews, recent randomised controlled trials, clinical practice guidelines, and other relevant studies for the effects of rehabilitation approaches for chronic neck pain. Rehabilitation was defined as the aim to restore a person to health or normal life through training and therapy and as such, passive interventions applied in isolation were not considered. The results of this review found that the strongest treatment effects to date are those associated with exercise. Strengthening exercises of the neck and upper quadrant have a moderate effect on neck pain in the short-term. The evidence was of moderate quality at best, indicating that future research will likely change these conclusions. Lower quality evidence and smaller effects were found for other exercise approaches. Other treatments, including education/advice and psychological treatment, showed only very small to small effects, based on low to moderate quality evidence. The review also provided suggestions for promising future directions for clinical practice and research.

“…Most of the SRs rated low or critical low quality were due to poor reporting of prespecified protocols and poor reporting of studies excluded during full-text screening, both of which are critical domains by AMSTAR 2 criteria. One SR in the mindful Mind-Body Interventions for Depressive Chronic Pain movement group did not account for risk of bias of the primary studies when interpreting the results of the review (52).…”

Mind-Body Interventions for Depressive Symptoms in Chronic Pain: A Systematic Review of Meta-Analyses

et al. 2020

BACKGROUND: Psychological comorbidities in chronic pain (CP) are common and contribute to adverse health outcomes and poor quality of life. Evidence-based guidance for the management of depressive symptoms in CP is limited, particularly for mind-body interventions. OBJECTIVES: To investigate the effectiveness of mind-body interventions for the management of depressive symptoms in people with CP. STUDY DESIGN: Systematic review (SR) of SRs. SETTING: SRs with meta-analyses of clinical interventions for the management of depressive symptoms in people with CP. METHODS: This SR was reported following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. Electronic searches were performed for MEDLINE, EMBASE, PsycINFO, CINAHL, AMED, the Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, and the Joanna Briggs Institute Database of Systematic Reviews and Implementation Reports from inception to March 14, 2019. Reference lists and overviews were also hand-searched. SRs of mind-body interventions for CP were included if they conducted a meta-analysis of depression outcomes in people with any CP type not including headache. Two independent reviewers screened, extracted, and evaluated the quality of articles found. Quality was assessed using the AMSTAR 2 criteria and data were summarized narratively with standardized mean differences and 95% confidence intervals of the depression outcome. RESULTS: Eleven SRs with 20 distinct meta-analyses demonstrated a small to moderate beneficial effect for mind-body interventions (effect sizes: -0.05 to -0.63). LIMITATIONS: Depressive symptomatology was a subordinate concern compared with other outcomes. The primary literature base was reasonably broad with 33 primary studies, but small when compared with the number of meta-analyses. CONCLUSIONS: Mind-body interventions show consistent small to moderate effects in reducing depressive symptoms in CP. The literature in this area demonstrates understudy and oversynthesis. There is a need for more clinical trials focusing on people with axial pain, people with comorbid major depressive disorder, and with depression as the primary outcome of interest. Full SR registered on PROSPERO: CRD42019131871. KEY WORDS: Mind-body, meditation, yoga, depression, chronic pain, umbrella review

“…Therefore, we conducted additional searches from the perspective of exercise and found that existing studies have reached a cautious conclusion: yoga can increase the cervical spine mobility of patients with chronic cervical spondylosis, but the specific strength of evidence requires subsequent research and exploration. [ 19 ] There is also evidence that stretching exercises can directly affect the range of motion of the cervical spine and that passive hamstring stretching exercises can directly affect the range of motion and balance of the cervical spine. [ 36 ] This evidence indicates that exercise may improve the cervical spine mobility of patients with cervical spondylosis.…”

“…There are also many cases of intervention that use other exercise methods. [ 18 , 19 ] When compared to other aerobic or resistance exercises, [ 20 , 21 ] the advantages of mind-body exercise include its slow rhythm and stable intensity, [ 16 ] which are conducive to long-term health development. Moreover, many research results have proven that mind-body exercise is beneficial to the treatment of chronic diseases.…”

Background: With the development of the economy and society, the pace of in-person work has gradually accelerated, resulting in longer and more intense work hours. Long-term and high-intensity work can lead to considerable discomfort in people's cervical spines. Objectives: This study aims to explore the effect of mind-body exercise intervention on the cervical spine mobility of people with neck discomfort through meta-analysis. Methods: This study's researchers will search a total of 5 research databases for data retrieval: China National Knowledge Infrastructure (from 1979), Web of Science (from 1950), PubMed (from 1965), Cochrane (from 1991), and EBSCO (from 1949) (Date of retrieval: March 10, 2021). Two authors will independently search literature records, scan titles, abstracts, and full texts, collect data, and assess materials for risk of bias. Stata14.0 software will be used for the data analysis. Results: The current study is a systematic review and meta-analysis program with no results. Data analysis will be completed after the program has been completed. Discussion: There is potential evidence that exercise can have a positive effect on the cervical spine mobility of people with cervical spine discomfort. In addition, direct evidence of the benefits of mind-body exercise intervention may be more important. INPLASY Registration Number: INPLASY202140126.
