“…The Global Burden of Disease Study 2010 found that the global point prevalence of neck pain is estimated to be 4.9 %, and that neck pain is ranked as the 4 th most disabling condition (Hoy et al, 2014, Vos et al, 2013. Women have a slightly higher prevalence than men, while prevalence is similar across different geographical regions (Hoy et al, 2014). The annual prevalence of neck pain varies from 30 to 50% and exerts significants effects on both the individual and the society through decreased quality of life, health care expenditure, and sick leave , Kinge et al, 2015.…”

“…Neck related dysfunctions have become considerably prevalent in society, especially chronic neck pain, which is considered a common source of disability in the economically active population (1)(2)(3)(4). Estimates from the Global Burden of Disease 2010 study point that, overall, the average prevalence of neck pain is 4.9% (95% confidence interval -95% CI: 4.6 to 5.3) and that neck pain was the fourth major condition among the 291 investigated health conditions to generate disability (1).…”

Introduction: Chronic neck pain is associated with significant health costs and loss of productivity at work. Objective: to assess pain and disability in individuals with chronic neck pain. Methods: 31 volunteers with chronic neck pain, mean age 29, 65 years, were assessed using the McGill Pain Questionnaire in Brazilian version (Br-MPQ) and Neck Disability Index (NDI). The Br-MPQ analysis was performed based on the numerical values associated with the words selected to describe the experience of pain (Pain Rating Index -PRI), and present pain intensity (PPI). NDI was used to evaluate the influence of neck pain in performance of everyday tasks. Finally, we investigated the association between PPI and NDI. Results: PRI revealed that the most significant dimension was the sensory pain (70%), and the number of chosen words was 10 (2,62) out of 20 words. Mean PPI value was 1,23 (0,76) in five points; 40% of participants described pain intensity as moderate. NDI score was 9,77 (3,34), indicating mild disability. There was a positive association between disability and pain intensity (r = 0,36; p =0,046). Pain intensity and duration of pain were not associated. Conclusions: Findings of this study identified important information related to neck pain experienced by patients when suffering

“…A recent study found a global point prevalence of neck pain of 4.9% and disability-adjusted life years around 33.6 million. 1 In this study, neck pain ranked as the fourth highest condition in terms of disability as measured by years of life lived with disability and as the 21st in terms of overall burden. 1 Better understanding of management strategies is needed for this condition.…”

“…1 In this study, neck pain ranked as the fourth highest condition in terms of disability as measured by years of life lived with disability and as the 21st in terms of overall burden. 1 Better understanding of management strategies is needed for this condition. 2 In the last decade, the cervical muscles, particularly deep cervical flexors and extensors, have been proposed to have a relevant role in neck pain conditions.…”

Objective: The aim of this study was to determine if a needle is able to reach the cervical multifidus during the application of dry needling or acupuncture. Methods: Dry needling and ultrasound imaging of cervical multifidi was conducted on 5 patients (age: 32 ± 5 years) with mechanical neck pain and on 2 fresh cadavers (age: 64 ± 1 years). Dry needling was done using a needle of 40 mm in length inserted perpendicular to the skin about 1 cm lateral to the spinous process at C3-C4. The needle was advanced from a posterior to anterior direction into the cervical multifidus with a slight inferior-medial angle (approximately 10°) to reach the vertebra lamina. For the cadaveric study, the multifidus was isolated by carefully resecting the superficial posterior cervical muscles: trapezius, splenius, and semispinalis. For the ultrasonographic study, a convex transducer was placed transversely over C3-C4 after the insertion of the needle into the muscle. Results: The results of both the cadaveric and ultrasonic studies found that the needle does pierce the cervical multifidus muscle during insertion and that the tip of the needle rests properly against the vertebral laminae, thereby guarding the sensitive underlying spinal structures from damage. Conclusion: This anatomical and ultrasound imaging study supports that dry needling of the cervical multifidus could be conducted clinically. (J Manipulative Physiol Ther 2017;xx:0-6)

The global burden of neck pain: estimates from the Global Burden of Disease 2010 study

Abstract: Neck pain is a common condition that causes substantial disability. With aging global populations, further research is urgently needed to better understand the predictors and clinical course of neck pain, as well as the ways in which neck pain can be prevented and better managed.
