Abstract

OBJECTIVES:

This study compared the relative effectiveness of cervical spine manipulation and mobilization for neck pain.

METHODS:

Neck-pain patients were randomized to the following conditions: manipulation with or without heat, manipulation with or without electrical muscle stimulation, mobilization with or without heat, and mobilization with or without electrical muscle stimulation.

RESULTS:

Of 960 eligible patients, 336 enrolled in the study. Mean reductions in pain and disability were similar in the manipulation and mobilization groups through 6 months.

CONCLUSIONS:

Cervical spine manipulation and mobilization yield comparable clinical outcomes.
