Predictors of Functional Status in Chronic Non-Spesific Neck Pain

Overview

Although it has been reported that these problems seen together with neck pain are related to functional limitations and disability, there is still insufficient evidence regarding the relationship between factors affecting functional status and chronic neck pain symptoms in individuals with chronic neck pain. Furthermore, a mixed methodology approach has not been used to comprehensively investigate this relationship. Identifying factors affecting functional status in CNP will help guide the prevention, treatment, and management of neck pain. Therefore, the aim of this study is to investigate the relationships between functional status and psychosocial and bodily functions in CNP.

Detailed description

In chronic neck pain , many body structures and problem joint movement restrictions, especially decreased strength and endurance of deep neck muscles, increased activation of superficial muscles such as scalene muscles, sternocleidomastoid muscles and impaired coordination between deep and superficial neck flexor muscles, decreased motor control and proprioception, postural problems, and many psychosocial problems such as stress, anxiety and depression, sleep problems, pain catastrophe, and fear-avoidance reactions. These symptoms in neck pain can also increase susceptibility to respiratory dysfunctions. Although it has been reported that these problems seen together with neck pain are related to functional limitations and disability, there is still insufficient evidence regarding the relationship between factors affecting functional status and symptoms of chronic neck pain in individuals with chronic neck pain.
