“…Patients with chronic neck pain often present with a variety of other signs and symptoms. These may include physical impairments as decreased cervical mobility and altered neuromuscular function of the flexor [2] and extensor [3] muscles, as well as psychological distress, depression and fear avoidance [4], and reduced quality of life [5]. The extent of some of these factors may depend on the origin of pain with differences observed between those with traumatic versus non-traumatic neck pain [6][7][8].…”

“…Therefore, the relationship between the mass of trunk muscle, including skeletal muscle, and low back pain has also attracted attention. Some researchers have reported an association of body composition with musculoskeletal pain and have demonstrated that a greater fat mass and an attenuated muscle mass were associated with increased musculoskeletal pain 8 , 9 .…”

We investigated how skeletal muscle mass (SMM) affects spinal sagittal balance (radiographic parameters) in symptomatic spinal patients. The first purpose of this study was to evaluate the body composition and the spinal sagittal alignment in symptomatic spinal patients. The second purpose of this study was to compare whether the body composition and the spinal sagittal alignment is different in patients with cervical spine disease and lumbar spine disease. We retrospectively evaluated 313 patients who were hospitalized for surgery to treat spinal degenerative disease, who were divided into cervical and lumbar spine disease groups. All patients underwent full-length standing whole-spine radiography and bioimpedance analysis (BIA) before surgery. We used standard measurements to assess the sagittal vertical axis (SVA), cervical lordosis (CL; C2–C7), lumbar lordosis (LL; T12–S1), thoracic kyphosis (TK; T5–12), pelvic incidence (PI), pelvic tilt (PT), and sacral slope (SS). We also analyzed radiological and body composition parameters, patient characteristics, and the correlation between SMM and each sagittal parameters. In the overall cohort, the mean age at the time of operation was 66.5 ± 15.3 years and 59.2% of the patients were men. The correlation coefficients (r) between SMM and PT were negative weak correlation (r = −0.343, P < 0.001). The correlation with SMM for other LL, PI, SS, and SVA was statistically significant, but the correlation was none. In addition, our results also suggested strong correlations (r > 0.5) between LL and SS (r = 0.744), between LL and SVA (r = −0.589), between PT and SS (r = −0.580), and LL and PT (r = −0.506). Fifty-seven patients (18.2%, cervical group) had cervical spine disease and 256 patients (81.8%, lumbar group) had lumbar spine disease. No significant differences in age, height, body weight, and body mass index were observed between the two groups. The SMM of patients with cervical and lumbar spine disease also did not differ significantly. In the lumbar group, correlations were found between SMM and PT (r = −0.288, P < 0.001), between SMM and LL (r = 0.179, P < 0.01), and between SMM and SS (r = 0.170, P < 0.01), while only PT (r = −0.480, P < 0.001) was negatively correlated with SMM in the cervical group. This analysis indicated that PT is the sagittal parameter most closely related to SMM in patients with the spinal degenerative disease. The SMM might be one of the important factors that influenced the posterior inclination of the pelvis in symptomatic spinal patients, especially in cervical spine disease.

“…However, recent studies suggest that, in patients with chronic neck pain, consideration of not only the neck region but also the whole body physical fitness, and also anxiety and depression parameters might be more beneficial for the management strategies (Yalcinkaya et al, 2014). In this context, chronic MNP has been addressed with a variety of interventions including heat, traction, laser, manual therapy, and exercise (Sherman et al, 2009;Miller et al, 2010;Graham et al, 2013).…”

Do male and female patients with chronic neck pain really have different health‐related physical fitness, depression, anxiety and quality of life parameters?

Abstract: We suggest that, on the basis of gender, consideration of not only the neck region but also whole body physical fitness, anxiety and depression parameters in patients with CNP might be helpful to the development of more benefical strategies for illness management.
