“…Random effects for individual subjects were also included to address repeated measures within the same subjects. Based on an assumed medium effect size (0.15), 80% power, and a significance level of 0.05 (two‐tailed), the estimated sample size required for this study was calculated to be 85 subjects (Cook et al., 2024; Selya et al., 2012). To accommodate a projected dropout rate of 10% (Dong et al., 2023), the sample size was adjusted, resulting in a final target sample size of 94 subjects (47 participants per group).…”

“…The sample size for this study was determined using a linear mixed effects model to account for within‐subject correlation arising from repeated measures over time (Cook et al., 2024). The model includes fixed effects, such as treatment group (CF + SC and SC groups) and time points (baseline, 4 weeks, and 12 weeks after treatment), along with the interaction between treatment group and time to assess potential changes in treatment effects over time.…”

BackgroundUnderstanding the influence of contextual factors (CFs) on interventions for mechanical neck pain (MNP) is essential for evidence‐based practice in physical therapy. However, the specific effects and synergies of combining different CFs remain unclear.ObjectiveThe primary purpose of this study will be to determine if a CFs‐Enriched Standard Care (SC) approach is an effective treatment for MNP in terms of reducing pain and improving function.MethodsThis will be an assessor‐blinded, 2‐group (1:1) randomised clinical trial (RCT) aiming to enrol 94 participants with neck pain persisting for more than 4 weeks. Both groups will undergo 4 weeks of SC twice weekly, following established clinical practice guidelines. In the intervention group, CFs will be enhanced, encompassing the physical, psychological, and social elements inherent in the clinical encounter, based on existing evidence. The primary outcomes will encompass changes in pain and disability after 4 weeks of treatment, with a follow‐up reassessment at week 12 post‐treatment. Secondary outcomes will include changes in Active Range of Motion, Global Rating of Change, and Satisfaction with treatment. The change between groups after treatment and at the 12‐week follow‐up will be reported for all outcomes, considering the difference from scores recorded at baseline.ResultsWe hypothesise that a 4‐week CFs‐Enriched SC approach will be superior to SC alone in terms of patient‐reported disability and pain, with measurements conducted using the Northwick Park Neck Pain Questionnaire and the Numeric Pain Rating Scale, respectively.ConclusionThis RCT rigorously assesses the effect of purposeful manipulation of CFs during MNP treatment. By elucidating the role of these factors, our findings have the potential to significantly refine clinical practice in managing MNP, thereby enhancing patient care, and advancing the fields of physical therapy and rehabilitation.

“…These findings underscore the complex interplay between physical and psychosocial factors in the onset and persistence of neck pain. Overall, recent research progress has enhanced our understanding of the complexity of neck pain and provided evidence-based strategies for its prevention, management, and rehabilitation [11,12].…”

IntroductionNeck pain is common among adolescents and young adults, affecting their health and well-being. However, research on its prevalence trends in this demographic is limited despite its global significance.Material and methodsData from the Global Burden of Disease Study was used to analyze neck pain prevalence and trends among individuals aged 10 to 24 from 1990 to 2019. Temporal trends and regional differences were assessed using estimated annual percentage changes.ResultsGlobally, the number of adolescents and young adults affected by neck pain increased from 11,594,119 cases in 1990 to 12,880,134 in 2019. Despite this increase, the prevalence rate stabilized, dropping from 74,850.57 per 100,000 individuals in 1990 to 69,178.4 per 100,000 in 2019, with an annual decrease of -0.28%. In 2019, prevalence rates for ages 10-14, 15-19, and 20-24 were 31,624.66, 69,189.45, and 109,351.52 per 100,000 individuals, respectively. The regions with the highest prevalence rates in 2019 were Western Europe, High-income North America, and Southeast Asia, with rates of 1938.57, 1930.2, and 1021.37 per 100,000 individuals, respectively. Nationally, the United Kingdom, Denmark, and Finland had the highest rates, reaching 2,487.30, 2,442.03, and 2,336.94 cases per 100,000 individuals, respectively. Notably, regions with higher Socio-Demographic Index (SDI) levels tended to have higher prevalence rates of neck pain among adolescents and young adults, with variations by region and age group.ConclusionsThe study emphasizes the ongoing burden of neck pain among adolescents and young adults worldwide, emphasizing the necessity for targeted interventions to enhance public health outcomes in this group.
