Does the Addition of Massage to Manual Therapy and Exercise Improve Outcome in Chronic Neck Pain?

Society of Musculoskeletal Medicine·interventional·Posted Dec 10, 2014·Updated Dec 10, 2014

In Brief

A clinical study evaluating massage for Neck Pain. Completed, enrolled 39 participants.

Detailed Summary

To date, the benefits of massage in chronic neck pain patients has only been investigated as a singular treatment, rather than as part of a treatment package. The need for this research has been highlighted in the literature (Ezzo et al, 2007; Haraldsson et al, 2006) This research aimed to establish whether the addition of massage to a program of exercise and manual therapy offers any additional benefits over exercise and manual therapy alone in the treatment of patients with chronic neck pain.
