“…NSP was associated with pain in the upper extremities and lower EuroQol scores, but not with pain in the lower extremities or medical complications 11 . The previous study reported that NSP (+) status was directly related poor HRQOL, and NSP is a predictor of suboptimal physical and mental QOL 37 . However, there has been no analysis of the relationship between NSP and NeP as potential risk factors for decreased QOL in the healthy general population 38 .…”

Study Design. A cross-sectional study.Objective. The present study aimed to investigate the prevalence of NeP in subjects suffering from NSP to reveal the impact of NeP on the health-related QOL (HRQOL) in middle-aged and elderly people with NSP in a health checkup. Summary of Background Data. No previous studies have established the relationship between NSP and NeP as potential risk factors contributing to a decreased QOL in the general population.Methods. The present study involved 203 participants (men: 84, women: 119; mean age: 63.3 yr). For each subject, anthropometric measurements, physical function examinations, and blood testing were performed. A cut-off score of >0 on the short-form spine painDETECT questionnaire defined the presence of NeP. Subsequently, the NSP (þ) subjects were divided into 2 sub-groups: the NeP (þ) and NeP (À) groups. For the assessment of QOL, the short form 36 health survey and the EuroQol 5 dimension 5 level version (EQ-5D-5L) tool were used.Results. The study included 100 NSP (þ) and 103 NSP (À) subjects. Among the NSP (þ) subjects, 46 and 54 subjects were found to be NeP (þ) and NeP (À), respectively. For the short form 36 health survey, the multivariate regression analysis revealed that the prevalence of NeP was associated with a lower physical QOL (OR 3.56) and lower mental QOL (OR 4.04). Similarly, the NeP prevalence was found to be the predictor for low QOL scores in EQ-5D-5L (EQ-5D-5L index value <0.875; OR 3.61). Conclusion. The prevalence of NeP was reported to be 46.0% in healthy middle-aged and elderly population suffering from NSP, where it was associated with poor HRQOL. Therefore, strategies aimed at alleviating NeP may contribute significantly to the improvement of QOL in middle-aged and elderly people with NSP.

BackgroundNeck pain (NP), one of the most common musculoskeletal diseases, exercises a great influence on the daily life of individuals, especially the elderly. Baduanjin is a traditional Qigong therapy from China, but there is no evidence for its use in the treatment of neck pain in middle-aged and elderly people.ObjectiveWe hope to summarize the efficacy evidence of Baduanjin in the treatment of middle-aged and elderly patients with neck pain (NP) for the first time, conduct a systematic review and meta-analysis, and provide basic evidence-based evidence for clinical practice.MethodsTwo researchers collectively searched PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, Cochrane Library, China Biology Medicine disk (Sino-Med), China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), Wanfang database, and China Science and Technology Journal Database (VIP). The search time is set from initial to 27 September 2022, to find out RCT articles that may meet the criteria. The risk bias assessment tool Cochrane was applied to assess the methodological quality of involved studies. RevMan 5.3 was used for the meta-analysis with a mean difference (MD) and 95% confidence interval (CI), and the model type was a random effects model. The VAS scores of the intervention and control groups were extracted and the results of the meta-analysis were presented using a forest plot.ResultsIn total, 13 randomized controlled trials were meta-analyzed, including 840 patients. The results turned out that the VAS score in the intervention group was below the control group, which was statistically significant [MD = −1.15, 95% CI (−1.39, −0.92) and P < 0. 001]. The result of general efficiency suggests that the Baduanjin group was better than the control group [RR = 1.19, 95% CI (1.10, 1.29), P < 0.001].ConclusionThe existing results seem to show that Baduanjin is safe and has a trend of positive benefits in the treatment of neck pain in middle-aged and elderly people. However, considering the limitations of this study, we need to be cautious in our conclusions, and more studies are needed to verify it in future.

K-line tilt as a novel potential risk factor for cervical Modic change: a retrospective study

Background Cervical sagittal parameters are important parameters that reflect the mechanical stress in the sagittal plane of the cervical spine and are an important basis for predicting the clinical status and prognosis of patients. Although it has been confirmed that there is a significant correlation between cervical Modic changes and some sagittal parameters. However, as a newly discovered sagittal parameter, there is no report on the relationship between the K-line tilt and the Modic changes of cervical spine. Methods A retrospective analysis was performed for 240 patients who underwent cervical magnetic resonance imaging scan for neck and shoulder pain. Among them, 120 patients with Modic changes, namely the MC(+) group, were evenly divided into three subgroups of 40 patients in each group according to different subtypes, namely MCI subgroup, MCII subgroup and MCIII subgroup. One hundred twenty patients without Modic changes were included in MC(−) group. We measured and compared the sagittal parameters of cervical spine among different groups, including K-line tilt, C2–C7 sagittal axial vertical distance (C2–C7 SVA), T1 slope and C2–7 lordosis. Logistic regression was used to analyse the risk factors of cervical Modic changes. Results The K-line tilt and C2–7 lordosis were significantly different between MC(+) group and MC(−) group (P < 0.05). The K-line tilt greater than 6.72° is a risk factor for Modic changes in cervical spine (P < 0.05). At the same time, the receiver operating characteristic curve showed that this change had moderate diagnostic value when the area under the curve was 0.77. Conclusion This study shows that the K-line tilt greater than 6.72° is a potential risk factor for Modic changes in cervical spine. When the K-line tilt is greater than 6.72°, we should be alert to the occurrence of Modic changes. Trial registration number: 2022ER023-1.
