Objective How interventions are reported can impact the ability to implement these intervention in clinical practice. Therefore, our aim is to assess the reporting of massage interventions in randomised controlled trials for patients with neck pain. Data sources This manuscript concerns a secondary analysis of trials evaluating massage for neck pain selected for a scoping review. An updated literature search was completed using four databases to 31 July 2023. Review methods Trials were selected that evaluate massage interventions. Two independent assessors extracted descriptive information, methodological quality (PEDro-scale) and assessed completeness of reporting of the intervention using the Template for Intervention Description and Replication (TIDier-checklist). We present frequencies of the extracted data. Results We included 35 trials (2840 patients) with neck pain. Most trials (n = 23) included patients with chronic non-specific neck pain. We found a wide variety of massage interventions from Chinese massage, Swedish massage to myofascial release. In addition, the dose, number of sessions and the duration of the intervention varied widely. The methodological quality overall was fair to good (varied between 4–8/10), and we found a moderate completeness of reporting. All trials provided the name of the intervention, 30 (86%) provided a rationale and 26 (74%) trials described details of the massage intervention. Conclusion The massage interventions were moderately described in trials in patients with neck pain, but provided enough information to guide the decision making for designing future Network Meta-analysis as to what trials need to be considered when grouping massage interventions in a clinically relevant way.

“…With one hand positioned just above the left ear, the participant self-applied one final maximal stretch lasting 15 seconds, without causing pain. This was followed by a 10-second rest period before repeating the exercise on the other side [24].…”

“…Another noteworthy observation was the significant difference between active and passive joint ROMs, especially in bilateral head extension and rotation. From these data, it was deduced an excessive muscle stiffness of the sternocleidomastoid muscles responsible for rotation on the opposite side of the head, when contracted individually, and acting as competitors in head flexion, when simultaneously engaged [24].…”

Introduction: TThe temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is fundamental for the postural tonic system, influencing and being influenced by postural alterations. Recent research emphasises the impact of sternocleidomastoid (SCM) stiffness on the range of movement of the cervical spine, especially during head rotation. Materials and Methods:A healthy adult woman (24 years, 1.65 m and 45 kg) participated in the study. Range of motion (ROM) was measured using the Euleria LabTM system and muscle activation was measured using the mDurance® surface electromyograph (sEMG). After the first measurement (T0), a protocol based on SCM resistance and flexibility exercises was administered. At the end of the procedure, the tests were repeated (T1). Results:In T0, asymmetries in temporal muscle activation (±38%) and significant differences in active and passive cervical ROMS were found, especially in rotation (-17°) and extension (-8°) movements. In T1, muscle activation levels are normalised with symmetry indices falling within the sufficiency ranges (±17%) and differences between active and passive ROMS significantly reduced in rotation (-9°) and absent in extension (-1°).Discussion: After the procedure there were improvements in the sEMG of all muscles examined and in the active cervical ROM.The study confirms the link between anterior neck muscles and masticatory muscles and demonstrates the immediate impact of improved distal muscle tension on proximal muscles.Future research aims to expand the sample size and evaluate the short term and long term effects of the procedure, as well as explore synergies with other treatment modalities for the comprehensive resolution of postural problems.
