“…In two trials [135, 136], subjects with chronic or mixed nonspecific pain receiving mobilization had significantly lower pain intensity compared to no treatment. Mobilization was significantly better than placebo in subjects with acute/subacute nonspecific pain (1 trial) [114], but did not differ from placebo in subjects with chronic nonspecific pain (1 trial) [135].…”

Background. Back pain is a common problem and a major cause of disability and health care utilization. Purpose. To evaluate the efficacy, harms, and costs of the most common CAM treatments (acupuncture, massage, spinal manipulation, and mobilization) for neck/low-back pain. Data Sources. Records without language restriction from various databases up to February 2010. Data Extraction. The efficacy outcomes of interest were pain intensity and disability. Data Synthesis. Reports of 147 randomized trials and 5 nonrandomized studies were included. CAM treatments were more effective in reducing pain and disability compared to no treatment, physical therapy (exercise and/or electrotherapy) or usual care immediately or at short-term follow-up. Trials that applied sham-acupuncture tended towards statistically nonsignificant results. In several studies, acupuncture caused bleeding on the site of application, and manipulation and massage caused pain episodes of mild and transient nature. Conclusions. CAM treatments were significantly more efficacious than no treatment, placebo, physical therapy, or usual care in reducing pain immediately or at short-term after treatment. CAM therapies did not significantly reduce disability compared to sham. None of the CAM treatments was shown systematically as superior to one another. More efforts are needed to improve the conduct and reporting of studies of CAM treatments.

“…Different manual techniques demonstrated efficacy in improvement of pain and disability in patients with NP compared with controls 5 or other treatments, 4 combined with an exercise program or alone. Hemmil7 et al 13 have reported that the results of TBS were better than the results of follow-up of nontreated patients with NP. In our study, patients getting TBS and 2 different treatments commonly used in NP were compared and the subjective improvement was better and cervical mobility tended to improve better after the TBS.…”

“…In a clinical trial, Heikki and Hemmilä et al [61] compared a group that received manipulative therapies combined with soft massage to a control group without therapy, finding a significant improvement in the treatment group only in the mobility in the three space planes (29% in FP, 23% in SP, and 16% in TP) after 5 weeks of treatment. In this study, the improvement post-intervention in the MT group was 6%, 8%, and 6.2%, respectively; however, we must consider that in Heikki s study the patients mobility situation was worse at baseline, and patients paid 22 euros for five sessions, which had larger implications for the solution of their affliction.…”

Neck pain is a frequent health problem. Manual therapy (MT) and transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) are recommended techniques for treatment of mechanical neck disorders (MND) in Spanish Public Primary Care Physiotherapy Services. The aim of this study was to compare the efficacy of MT versus TENS in active mobility and endurance in cervical subacute or chronic neck pain. Ninety patients with MND were randomly allocated to receive ten 30-min sessions of either MT or TENS, in a multi-centered study through 12 Primary Care Physiotherapy Units in the Madrid community. Active cervical range of motion (CD-ROM) and endurance (Palmer and Epler test) were evaluated pre- and post-intervention and at 6-month follow-up. A generalized linear model of repeated measures was constructed for the analysis of differences. Post-intervention MT yielded a significant improvement in active mobility and endurance in patients with subacute or chronic MND, and at 6-month follow-up the differences were only significant in endurance and in sagittal plane active mobility. In the TENS group, no significant improvement was detected. With regard to other variables, MT improved mobility and endurance more effectively than TENS at post-intervention and at 6-month follow-up in the sagittal plane. Only MT generated significant improvements in cervical mobility and endurance in the three movement planes.
