The Use of Neck Support Pillows and Postural Exercises in the Management of Chronic Neck Pain.
Journal of Rheumatology 2016 October
OBJECTIVE: Chronic neck pain is a common problem with a profound effect on quality of life. Identifying evidence-based management strategies is fundamental in improving patient outcomes. This study is a reanalysis of the data from Helewa, et al to further characterize the effects of postural exercises and neck support pillows on neck pain.
METHODS: A full factorial model was used. All interactions were analyzed adjusting for the Northwick Park Neck Pain Questionnaire (NPQ) at baseline.
RESULTS: Postural exercises significantly decreased NPQ scores at ≥ 3 weeks, and the use of a neck support pillow significantly decreased NPQ scores at ≥ 12 weeks.
CONCLUSION: These interventions could be beneficial in reducing neck pain symptoms.
