“…Pain is subjective, and its intensity can vary according to multiple factors (e.g., age, sex, personal characteristics, surrounding environment). Furthermore, the scales used to index pain differed between our study and that of Iizuka et al 11) ; this may account for the marked difference in neck and shoulder pain prevalence. Several studies report neck pain prevalence of approximately 20%, similar to our study, in the general population aged >40 years 2 3) .…”

“…This study focused on the relationship between neck pain and cervical alignment. Several previous studies have included similar populations (i.e., nursing staff) : Iizuka et al 11) reported that neck and shoulder pain prevalence in staff at their hospital was 68.1%, which was markedly higher than the figure reported herein (28%; 92 of 323 nurses). Although their study assessed the association between neck and shoulder pain and several factors, cervical sagittal alignment was not among them.…”

“…Consequently, a large number of young females with homogenous working conditions are available for analysis. A study by Iizuka et al 11) also assessed neck and shoulder pain among nursing staff, but the relationship between neck pain and cervical alignment was not evaluated. The present study examined the correlation between neck pain and deviations from normal cervical lordosis in young females working under conditions of similar physical intensity who had undergone no previous operation.…”

ObjectiveDegenerative changes in the cervical spine are commonly accompanied by cervical kyphosis which can cause neck pain. This study examined the relationship between neck pain and cervical alignment.MethodsA total of 323 female nursing staff from our hospital were enrolled. Sagittal radiographs of the cervical spine, Body Mass Index (BMI), Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) measures of neck and arm pain, Neck Disability Index (NDI) and the Short Form (36) Health Survey (SF-36 scores) were obtained and reviewed retrospectively. Global lordosis (GL) of the cervical spine was measured on radiograph images. Correlations between GL and questionnaire scores were investigated using the following three methods : 1) correlation between GL and questionnaire scores among the entire sample; 2) subgroup analysis of patients with "kyphosis (KYP) : GL scores<0" vs. those with "lordosis (LOR) : GL scores>0" on questionnaire measures; and 3) subgroup analysis of patients with pain vs. those without pain, on GL and questionnaire measures.ResultsThere was no significant correlation between GL and any questionnaire measure. There was a significant difference between the mean GLs of the KYP and LOR groups, but there were no group differences in BMI, age or any questionnaire measures. There was no difference between the pain (n=92) and pain-free (n=231) groups in age, BMI or GL, but there were differences in neck, and arm pain, and physical function and NDI scores.ConclusionsOur data suggest that kyphotic deformity was not associated with neck pain.

The aim of this study was to investigate the features of overweight or obese individuals with a BMI >25 kg/m 2 who complained of low back pain, knee pain, and neck stiffness. The subjects comprised 88 overweight or obese individuals who were divided into a symptomatic group and an asymptomatic group prior to the weight-loss intervention in order to compare several parameters of each group. Symptomatic patients were divided into groups of subjects whose symptoms did or did not improve as a result of the 6-month weight-loss intervention. Changes in the test paramete rs from before and after the intervention were compared between the two groups. The results revealed no differences in any parameters between the two groups (symptomatic and asymptomatic) at baseline in neck stiffness or low back pain. However, for knee pain, the maximal oxygen uptake (VO 2 max) was significantly lower in the symptomatic group than in the asymptomatic group (p<0.01). Furthermore, the weight-loss intervention revealed a significant increase in VO 2 max in the "improved" group compared to the "no change" group (p<0.05). The study results showed that both weight loss and the acquisition of aerobic capacity were important in relieving knee pain in overweight or obese individuals.

Work related neck pain is common problem in nurses, especially among those who are intensive computer users. It is generally agreed that the its etiology is multidimensional which is associated with 9%). Generally, the respondents were reported that their neck pain was associated with working hours on computer for more than 4 hours (56.7%); neck bending (56.4%) and Personnel shortage (53.2%). In bivariate; Chi square analysis, the result of present study indicated that there were seven factors significantly associated with neck pain i.e. age, BMI, physical exercises, night shifts, neck bending, prolonged working hours on computer and personnel shortage.Further analysis, by using multiple logistic regression showed that age groups [30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38][39]) and [40][41][42][43][44][45][46][47][48][49] physical exercises (p= 0.025,, working time on computer (p= 0.029, night shifts (p= 0.001, personnel shortage (p= 0.005, and neck bending (p= 0.013,
