Abstract [en]

Objective: To evaluate the effect of neck coordination exercise on sensorimotor function in women with neck pain compared with best-available treatment and sham treatment. Design: Observer-blinded randomized controlled trial with short-term and 6-month follow-ups. Subjects: Women with chronic non-specific neck pain were randomized to 3 groups: neck coordinationexercise with a novel training device; strength training for the neck and shoulders; or massage. Each group had 36 participants. Methods: The intervention period was 11 weeks with 22 individually supervised sessions. Primary outcomes were postural sway measures and precision of goal-directed arm movements. Secondary outcomes were range of motion for the neck, peak speed of axial rotation, and neck pain. A repeated measures multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA) was conducted separately on the primary outcomes for the short-term and 6-month evaluations and on the sensorimotor secondary outcomes for the 6-month effect. The 6-month effect on pain was analysed with a repeated measures analysis ofvariance (ANOVA). Results: No significant treatment effects in favour of neck coordination exercise were found for short-term or 6-month evaluations. Conclusion: Neck coordination exercise is no better than strength training and massage in improvingsensorimotor function. Further research should investigate the use of cutoffs for sensorimotordysfunctions prior to proprioceptive or coordinative training.
