Background: Neck pain is one of the major problems managed by chiropractors, therefore its common the use of spinal manipulation to manage this problem. Objective: To evaluate the influence of Cervical Spine Manipulation (CSM) in the Neck Disability Index (NDI) of patients with chronic neck pain compared to a manipulative sham group. Method: 15 patients with chronic neck pain, were randomly assigned into one of two groups. Experimental Group (EG), with 8 patients, mean age of 30.6(13.7) years and Sham Group (SG), with 7 patients, mean age of 38.9(17.0) years. All the patients signed a Voluntary Informed Consent Document, approved by the university’s research ethics committee (n°555.015). The NDI was used to evaluate the outcome. The EG intervention was the CSM, performed 4 times, along a mean of 39.2 days. The SG was subjected to a similar cervical manipulative sensory experience, also performed 4 times, along a mean of 30.6 days. Paired and unpaired Student’s t-test was used to assess intra and inter group differences, respectively. Results: Statistically significant differences (p=0.000) were found for NDI between the pre and post-treatment evaluations of both the EG (26.3(5.0) % pre; 10.9(7.1) % post) and the SG (30.1(3.7) % pre; 18.4(5.3) % post). There were no significant differences for NDI in the pre-treatment between groups (p=0.122), however statistically significant differences were found in the post-treatment between the EG and the SG (p=0.039). Conclusion: The result shows that after the treatment period both groups showed improvement for NDI, however the CSM in the EG resulted in an improved outcome in the treatment of patients with chronic neck pain.

“…We did not exclude women with neck pain from the study because of the high prevalence of neck pain in the normal population. 21,22 We anticipated that between six and eight factors would be associated with perimenstrual migraines: (1) perceived neck pain and stiffness, (2) poor posture, (3) reduced cervical mobility, (4) decreased muscle strength, (5) muscle length restriction and pain on muscle stretch, (6) presence of trigger points, (7) decreased neural mobility, (8) pain and/or stiffness on segmental cervical assessment. Because of the exploratory nature of the study, we used Nunnally's ''rule of thumb'' (1978) of 10 subjects per factor.…”

Purpose: To determine whether an association between cervical dysfunction and perimenstrual migraines exists. Methods: Forty perimenstrual migraine sufferers and 46 controls were compared. Information on the participants' ages and perceptions of neck pain and stiffness were solicited. The blinded physical examination of the cervical area consisted of postural, range of motion, muscle strength, muscle length, trigger point, neural mobility, and segmental cervical joint movement assessment. Results: The migraine group had increased perception of neck pain and stiffness (p < 0.001); reduced bilateral rotation (p ¼ 0.013); decreased muscle length in both trapezii, left sternocleidomastoid, and right occipitals (p ¼ 0.045); more pain on muscle stretch in both levator scapulae, both trapezii, left sternocleidomastoid, and both occipitals (p ¼ 0.013); increased trigger points bilaterally in the left trapezius (p ¼ 0.021), right trapezius (p ¼ 0.023), left sternocleidomastoid (p ¼ 0.0.004), and right sternocleidomastoid (p ¼ 0.021); reduced neural mobility with bilateral elbow lag (p ¼ 0.043); greater C4-C6 pain (p ¼ 0.045); and increased cervical stiffness in C5-C7 (p ¼ 0.023). There were no differences in posture and muscle strength. Decreased muscle length increased the risk of perimenstrual migraines 2.4-6.7 fold, reduced neural mobility 5.8-10.7 fold, and increased C7 stiffness 17.0 fold. Conclusion: The results suggest that an association between cervical dysfunction and perimenstrual headaches should be further explored.Key Words: cervical pain; headache; menstruation; migraine disorders. RÉ SUMÉObjectif : Cette é tude visait à dé terminer s'il y a un lien entre la dysfonction cervicale et les migraines pé rimenstruelles. Mé thodes : On a comparé 40 femmes souffrant de migraines pé rimenstruelles à 46 té moins. On a ré uni de l'information sur l'â ge des participantes et les perceptions de la douleur et de la raideur dans le cou. L'examen mé dical à l'insu de la ré gion cervicale a consisté à é valuer la posture, l'amplitude du mouvement, la force musculaire, la longueur des muscles, le point de dé clenchement, la mobilité neurale et le mouvement de l'articulation cervicale segmentaire. Ré sultats : Les patientes souffrant de migraines avaient une perception accrue de la douleur et de la raideur dans le cou (p < 0,001), une rotation bilaté rale ré duite (p ¼ 0,013); elles pré sentaient une diminution de la longueur musculaire au niveau des deux trapè zes, du sternoclé idomastoïdien gauche et des occipitaux droits (p ¼ 0,045); ressentaient plus de douleur à l'é tirement musculaire au niveau des deux muscles é lé vateurs de la scapula, des deux trapè zes, du sternoclé idomastoïdien gauche et des deux occipitaux (p ¼ 0,013); une é lé vation des points de dé clenchement des deux cô té s dans le trapè ze gauche (p ¼ 0,021), le trapè ze droit (p ¼ 0,023), le sternoclé idomastoïdien gauche (p ¼ 0,0004) et le sternoclé idomastoïdien droit (p ¼ 0,021); une ré duction de la mobilité neurale avec latence du coude de...
