Systematic Work Environment Model Incorporating Web-based Neck-specific Exercise for Dental Staff...
WorkplaceNeck Pain1 moreThe aim of study; WorkCIT is to investigate whether managerial support in using systematic work environment evaluation and adjustment (SWEA) with/without additional 3 month web-based NSEs with four visits to a physiotherapist is effective in promoting reduced neck pain and disability among dental health care professionals (DHCP) with work-related neck pain (WRNP). The aim of the subgroup studies is to investigate biomarkers and tissue changes and the association with pain, work ability, and other outcomes before and after SWEA with or without NSEs. Furthermore, to investigate dental staff experiences with the interventions and their impact on work ability, health and their work situation, and investigate managers experience of SWEA with support from the Prehab guide and workshops. The hypothesis is that a combined effort with SWEA to promote the work situation together with NSEs will reduce neck pain intensity and improve work ability to a greater extent than the SWEA only. Methods and analysis: This is a prospective, longitudinal, randomised, controlled multi-centre trial with two parallel treatment arms and blinded investigators conducted according to a detailed protocol following the guidelines in the CONSORT checklist. A total of 240 DHCP with WRNP will be recruited. The main outcome is neck pain intensity. Secondary outcomes are work ability, function, health-related quality of life, work absenteeism, work-related factors, and work adjustments made. Cost-effectiveness will be studied from a societal perspective if significant differences appear between randomization groups regarding health-related quality of life and will in that case be reported in a separate paper. To improve diagnostics and help assess the effectiveness of intervention biochemical sub-group studies will be performed before and after intervention to investigate pain related biomarkers. Interviews with a sub-group of participants and managers will be performed regarding work-ability, work adjustments and experiences of interventions.
Wearable Spine Health System for Military Readiness
Low Back PainNeck PainThe goal of this observational trial is to compare the health history and motion capabilities of participants with low back pain disorders to participants with healthy spines. The main question[s] it aims to answer are to: Primary outcomes of this research effort include the development of composite measures or digital biomarkers to track functional recovery over time and predict duty or work status outcomes (return-to-full duty/work, limited duty/work restrictions or medical discharge/long-term disability). Secondary outcomes of this research effort include characterization of motion assessment utility to predict reinjury risk and evaluate intervention effectiveness. In addition, exploratively, the investigators will determine biopsychosocial profiles of low back pain, and neck pain military populations to identify low back and neck pain phenotypes. Participants will complete questionnaires and wear a motion monitor that will assess the participant's back and/or neck. This session will be approximately 40-70 minutes. The research team will follow up with participants at 6 week, 6 months, and 1 year to complete a short series of questionnaires and a motion assessment test.

Acupoint Focused Ultrasound Versus Laserpuncture In Mechanical Neck Pain
Neck Painthis study will be conducted to compare the effect of Acupoint focused ultrasound and Laser puncture on pain intensity level, neck range of motion, and neck function in patient with chronic mechanical neck pain
Investigation of Pressure Pain Threshold and Hand Grip Strength in Individuals With and Without...
Neck PainThis study will be determined whether the pressure pain threshold and hand grip strength are affected in individuals with neck pain compared to individuals without neck pain.
Investıgatıon Of The Effect Of The Pandemıc Process In Indıvıduals Wıth Chronıc Low Back And Neck...
Neck PainLow Back Pain2 moreThere are a limited number of studies examining the difficulty of reaching treatment related to the pandemic process and the general effects of the process in patients with chronic low back and neck pain. However, no study has been found that compares the effects of individuals actively carrying and not carrying the Covid-19 virus. For this reason, the aim of the study is to examine the effects of the pandemic process on the cognitive level, pain catastrophization, physical activity level and quality of life in individuals with chronic low back and neck pain.
CARES-Spine (Comprehensive Analgesic, Recovery, and Education Support for Spine Surgery) Trial
Chronic PainBack Pain2 moreThree-arm randomized controlled trial, of Motivational Interviewing and guided Opioid Tapering support (MI-Opioid Taper) and tizanidine vs. MI-Opioid Taper and placebo vs. enhanced usual care to promote postoperative opioid cessation and pain cessation and reduce the incidence of postoperative opioid misuse among patients undergoing spine surgery.
Electro-thumbtack Needle Therapy for Chronic Neck Pain
Neck PainThis prospective trial will be a single-center, participant-blinded, randomized controlled trial. It is reported in previous studies that both acupuncture and transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation are effective in reducing neck pain comparing to placebo or exercise. Taking into account the convenience of electro-thumbtack needle therapy shown in clinical practice, this study aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of electro-thumbtack needle therapy for alleviating chronic neck pain compared with sham electro-thumbtack needle therapy.
