Effectiveness of diagnosis and treatment based on movement system impairment in individuals with cervical pain: A randomized controlled trial

Effectiveness of Movement System Impairment Model in Treating Neck Pain: Clinical Trial Results

Background

Movement System Impairment (MSI) classification and treatment effectively diagnose and treat individuals with neck pain. Current guidelines lack movement-specific mechanical diagnosis for neck pain management.

Purpose

This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of the movement system impairment model among neck pain individuals.

Methods

The study was a randomized controlled trial with 82 participants screened, and 60 individuals meeting the criteria were randomized into experimental and control groups. Both groups received treatment and were assessed for pain intensity, cervical range of motion, muscle strength, endurance, and disability.

Results

After 10 treatment sessions over three weeks, both groups showed significant improvements in pain intensity, range of motion, muscle strength, endurance, and disability. The experimental group (MSI) demonstrated greater clinical benefits than the control group.

Conclusion

The movement system impairment model effectively diagnosed and treated neck pain in individuals with mobility deficits. Further research is needed to establish its long-term effects.
