Brief Summary:
Chronic neck pain is particularly prevalent among nurses Nurses experiencing neck pain frequently report its impacts including decreased job satisfaction and reduced productivity In recent years non-pharmacologic approaches have increasingly been used treatments for the management of neck pain Exercise and manual therapies represent two of the most common non-pharmacologic interventions for pain The purpose of this study was to perform a pilot study of combined multimodal chiropractic care and Tai Chi for neck pain in nurses to help inform the design of a future full-scale pragmatic trial
Detailed Description:
The lifetime prevalence of chronic neck pain is approximately 50 and it is associated with substantial societal and individual burden Neck pain is prevalent among healthcare workers specifically among nurses About 45 of nurses experience neck pain but rates may vary by population and nursing type Neck pain in nurses significantly contributes to sickness absence and negatively impacts nurses productivity and performance at work Neck pain is a burden on nurses individual health and on the healthcare system as a whole Two of the most common non-pharmacological approaches for the management of neck pain are exercise and manual therapies and there is some evidence that multimodal approaches combining the two are more effective than unimodal strategies Given the widespread availability in most metropolitan areas of both Tai Chi and chiropractic care development of an evidence-based care regimen integrating Tai Chi mind-body self-care with chiropractic represents a practical strategy for management of neck pain
To help inform the design of a larger-scale trial evaluating the combined effects of Tai Chi and chiropractic care for neck pain the investigators propose to conduct a single-arm pilot study to evaluate the feasibility of delivering coordinated chiropractic care and Tai Chi via community-practitioners for nurses at Mass General Brigham Hospitals with chronic neck pain 21 nurses with chronic neck pain that meet all study eligibility criteria will be recruited to receive 10 chiropractic treatments and weekly Tai Chi training over 16 weeks
