Purpose Although there is growing evidence in favour of the bio-psychosocial approach to the treatment of persistent neck pain, it is questioned whether treating psychological factors can improve patient perceptions of disability, pain and quality of life. This randomised, controlled study with 12 months' follow-up was conducted to evaluate the efficacy of adding cognitive-behavioural principles to exercises for chronic neck pain. Methods Eighty patients were randomly assigned to the usual neck exercises plus cognitive-behavioural treatment (PTcb group, 40 subjects) or to treatment based on neck exercises alone (PT group, 40 subjects). Before treatment (T1), at the end of treatment (T2) and 12 months later (T3), all of the patients completed a booklet including the Neck Pain and Disability Scale, a numerical rating scale, and the Short-Form Health Survey Questionnaire (SF-36). Results The present trial failed to demonstrate its primary end point: the pre-and post-treatment difference in total NPDS scores was not statistically different between groups. Disability improved similarly in both groups over time, remaining stable until T3 in the PTcb group and slightly increasing at the same time in the PT group. Pain trends were comparable, with both groups showing an improvement between T1 and T2, and a slight worsening between T2 and T3. There were significant increases in all of the SF-36 domains except for health in general, and vitality in both groups by the end of treatment. SF-36 showed a between-group difference only for the physical activity domain (10.4; 95 % CI 2.4-18.5). Conclusion Disability, pain and quality of life improved at the end of treatment in both groups, without differences between them.

“…This was devised based on reviewing existing quality assessment lists, [13,14] extracting those criteria that were considered relevant, and devising further ones based on consultation, to cover all sections of the articles. Since quality assessment was generic, the criteria could be applied to a variety of different types of study design.…”

“…When collating the findings, the strength of evidence for a relationship between demographic and other factors and psychological adjustment was assessed by defining three levels of evidence. Levels of evidence were based on those set out by Ariens et al [13], related to both quantity and quality, and are as follows: (1) Strong evidence: Consistent findings across two or more good studies; (2) Some evidence: Consistent findings across two or more studies, where at least one must be average and (3) Inconclusive evidence: Consistent findings in multiple poor studies, inconsistent findings or only one study is available, irrespective of quality.…”

Psychological distress and its correlates in ovarian cancer: a systematic review

Objective: Ovarian cancer is often diagnosed at an advanced stage, and consequently high levels of distress are often experienced. It is necessary to understand the factors associated with psychological distress in order to guide interventions to target those factors. The purpose of this systematic review was therefore to identify correlates of psychological distress in ovarian cancer.Methods: Included studies had to be quantitative and empirical, with standardized measures of psychological distress (anxiety or depression), and to present results for ovarian cancer patients specifically. Standard systematic search methods were used. Information about design, ovarian cancer sample size, disease stage, time since diagnosis, measures of distress used and findings was extracted from each study. The studies were quality assessed using experimenterdefined criteria as good, average and poor quality. Strength of the evidence (strong, some, inconclusive) was based on the quality and consistency of findings.Results: Eighteen studies meeting the inclusion criteria were identified. There was strong evidence for a relationship between younger age, being diagnosed with more advanced disease, more physical symptoms and shorter time since diagnosis with increased levels of anxiety and/ or depression. Additional factors (e.g. immune) tested in a few studies also emerged as correlates of distress.Conclusions: Demographic, disease and quality of life factors correlated with distress. However, too few studies assessed possible psychological and immunological correlates, which could be potentially modified and should be assessed in future studies.

Neck pain is very common and it is observed that approximately 70% of the people experiences cervical pain at any stage of their life. In many professions especially banking, paper work was included initially but with the advancement of technology and the increased usage of computer in banks has created health related problems in workers of the banks and other offices. Awkward posture and prolonged working hours on computers can lead to health problems such as fatigue, eye strain and musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs). Prevalence of chronic pain is increasing due to increase use of computers and gadgets among bankers, researchers and people used laptops, cell phone. It is essential to use measures that prevent people from bad postures that lead to neck pain and back pain. This short review concluded that there is need to improve the posture among the bankers to prevent neck pain. There is an immediate need of awareness among the bankers population regarding the importance improved posture.
