“…Finally, individuals who score the questionnaire from 35 points are considered completely disabled due to neck pain. Noteworthy, NDI and SF-36 questionnaires are correlated (r = -0.82; p < 0 .011) (19); also, NDI is compatible with descriptors associated with the International Classification of Functioning and Health -CIF (20).…”

Multidimensional features of pain in patients with chronic neck pain

Introduction: Chronic neck pain is associated with significant health costs and loss of productivity at work. Objective: to assess pain and disability in individuals with chronic neck pain. Methods: 31 volunteers with chronic neck pain, mean age 29, 65 years, were assessed using the McGill Pain Questionnaire in Brazilian version (Br-MPQ) and Neck Disability Index (NDI). The Br-MPQ analysis was performed based on the numerical values associated with the words selected to describe the experience of pain (Pain Rating Index -PRI), and present pain intensity (PPI). NDI was used to evaluate the influence of neck pain in performance of everyday tasks. Finally, we investigated the association between PPI and NDI. Results: PRI revealed that the most significant dimension was the sensory pain (70%), and the number of chosen words was 10 (2,62) out of 20 words. Mean PPI value was 1,23 (0,76) in five points; 40% of participants described pain intensity as moderate. NDI score was 9,77 (3,34), indicating mild disability. There was a positive association between disability and pain intensity (r = 0,36; p =0,046). Pain intensity and duration of pain were not associated. Conclusions: Findings of this study identified important information related to neck pain experienced by patients when suffering

Specific training of functional and daily activities were not the focus of the treatment sessions, although, the NDI includes items that have been directly linked to activity limitations and participation restrictions in daily activities [117].…”

“…The NDI was modified from the Oswestry Low Back Pain Index [112] to be suitable for cervical spine conditions and consists of 10 items (pain intensity, personal care, lifting, sleeping, car driving, recreation, headaches, concentration, reading and work). The NDI items have been connected to the ICF domains of body functions, activity and participation [117]. Each item is scored from 0 to 5 with a maximum point score of 50 (0 = no disability, and 50 = complete disability).…”

Neck disability in patients with cervical radiculopathy and evaluation of structured postoperative physiotherapy

Non-surgical and surgical approaches to treatment are used in patients with cervical radiculopathy (CR) due to disc disease. Overall, good effects of surgery have been reported on arm pain and neurological symptoms. However, the effects on neck functioning are more uncertain. Studies have shown persistent activity limitations; participation restrictions; and impairments in neck-related body functions after surgery. Structured physiotherapy combining neck-specific exercises with a behavioural approach has been suggested as treatment before as well as after surgery to improve clinical outcomes in patients with CR. Randomized clinical trials of postoperative physiotherapy to inform evidence-based clinical guidelines for the treatment of patients with CR are lacking. The overall aim of the thesis was to investigate the additional benefit of structured postoperative physiotherapy combining neck-specific exercises with a behavioural approach compared to standard postoperative approach in patients with CR. A further aim was to evaluate the contribution of different aspects of neck-related body functions and mental functions on preoperative neck disability in these patients. A total of 202 patients with CR who were scheduled for surgery were recruited, and randomized preoperatively to either structured postoperative physiotherapy, or standard postoperative approach. Standard postoperative approach was in accordance with Swedish postoperative care, and may have included pragmatic physiotherapy after surgery when needed. Patients were evaluated with a set of questionnaires and clinical examinations before surgery and at 3 and 6 months after surgery. Outcomes included patient-reported measures of pain, neck functioning, global outcome, clinical evaluation of neckrelated body functions, self-efficacy and coping strategies, as well as expectation fulfilment and enablement. Differences between treatment groups were investigated in complete case and per-protocol approaches (Paper III & IV). A sub-sample of patients with CR who were scheduled for surgery were also compared with neck-healthy individuals for assessment of head repositioning accuracy with a cervical range of motion device (Paper I). In patients with CR who were scheduled for surgery, associations between preoperative measures of neck-related body functions, mental functions, and other contextual factors with patientreported neck disability were studied (Paper II). With the exception of greater expectation fulfilment in patients who received structured postoperative physiotherapy (p = 0.01), there were no differences between the treatment groups in outcomes at 6 months after surgery. There were no differences reported for changes in outcomes from before surgery to 6 months after surgery between the groups, but all outcomes significantly improved from baseline in both groups (p<0.001) (Paper III & IV). However, global outcome and frequency of neck pain improved during the postoperative period only in patients who received structured postoperative physiot...

“…18 To measure the impact that cervical pain can have on an individual as well as the limitations generated by it, several questionnaires and evaluation scales have been developed, often in the English language 19 , such as the Neck Disability Index (NDI) 20 , the Neck Pain and Disability Scale (NPDS) 21 , the Cervical Spine Outcomes Questionnaire (CSOQ) 22 and the North wick Park Neck Pain Questionnaire (NPK) 23 . Scales and self-assessment questionnaires, besides their scientific importance, can guide clinical practice 3,[24][25][26] . Despite the recognized practicality and usefulness of these questionnaires, the procedures related to their creation and development have only recently been standardized with the development of the Scientific Advisory Committee of Medical Out comes Trust 27 whose main purpose is to select standardized criteria for the development of quality of life self-assessment protocols and adjustments/adaptations in languages other than the original.…”

Introduction: the Danish questionnaire entitled The Copenhagen Neck Functional Disability Scale(CNFDS) is a tool for self-assessment of cervical complaints,originally developed in English, of which there is, so far, no translation into Brazilian Portuguese. The process involvedin this researchproved to be relevant for the exploration of the questionnaire and the realization of adjustments necessary for it to be functiona l and applicable in Portuguese Language and Brazilian Culture settings. Thus, once this has been carried out, many health professionals will benefit from this version in their clinical practice. Objective: To perform the translation and cultural adaptation to Brazilian Portuguese of the Escala funcional de incapacidade do pescoço de Copenhagen (The Copenhagen Neck Functional Disability Scale -CNFDS). Methods: The questionnaire was translated into Brazilian Portuguese by two bilingual, Brazilian physiotherapists who were aware of the objective of this research. The back-translation was performed by a third person, a Brazilian, bilingual English teacher, who had not participated in the previous step. After comparing the resulting translations, a single translated version was produced named the Escala Funcional de Incapacidade do Pescoço de
