Brief Summary:
The purpose of this randomized clinical trial is to assess the relative effectiveness of three conservative treatment approaches for seniors with chronic neck pain 1 chiropractic manual treatment plus home exercise 2 supervised exercise plus home exercise and 3 home exercise alone
Detailed Description:
Neck pain NP is a considerable health problem affecting both young and elderly individuals Of particular concern is the negative impact NP may have on the functional ability of the geriatric population already challenged by decreased mobility and balance associated with ageing Chiropractic manual treatment and rehabilitative exercise have demonstrated potential for the treatment of NP in younger individuals but have yet to be rigorously tested in the elderly
The broad long-term objective of this research is to identify effective therapies for patients 65 years and older who suffer with chronic neck pain and to enhance their functional capacity
Primary Aims
To determine the relative clinical effectiveness of 1 chiropractic manual treatment and home exercise 2 supervised rehabilitative exercise and home exercise and 3 home exercise alone in both the short-term after 12 weeks and long-term after 52 weeks using patient-rated neck pain as the main outcome measure
Secondary Aims
To estimate the short- and long-term relative effectiveness of the three interventions using
Patient-rated outcomes neck related disability general health status patient satisfaction improvement and medication use measured by self-report questionnaires
Objective functional performance outcomes neck motion strength and endurance and functional ability measured by examiners masked to treatment group assignment
Cost measures direct and indirect costs and cost utility of treatment measured by questionnaires phone interviews and medical records
To describe patients perceptions of treatment and the issues they consider when determining their satisfaction with care
This project is a collective effort by a multidisciplinary team with an established record of collaborative research in the area of neck and back pain The results of this study will provide valuable information for elderly neck pain sufferers and the clinicians who treat them
