For workers with persistent neck and shoulder pain , evidence supports mixed supervised and unsupervised high-intensity strength training or advice alone ( grade s I-III NAD ) .
A multimodal approach including manual therapy , self-management advice , and exercise is an effective treatment strategy for both recent-onset and persistent neck pain
OBJECTIVE The objective was to develop a clinical practice guideline on the management of neck pain-associated disorders ( NADs ) and whiplash-associated disorders ( WADs ) .
This guideline replaces 2 prior chiropractic guidelines on NADs and WADs .
Does an Exercise Intervention Improving Aerobic Capacity Among Construction Workers Also Improve Musculoskeletal Pain, Work Ability, Productivity, Perceived Physical Exertion, and Sick Leave?: A Randomized Controlled Trial
Objective : To investigate whether an exercise intervention shown to increase aerobic capacity , would also lead to less musculoskeletal pain ; improved work ability , productivity , and perceived physical exertion ; and less sick leave . Methods : Sixty-seven construction workers were r and omized into an exercise group training 3 × 20 minutes per week and a control group . Question naires and text messages were completed before and after the 12-week intervention . Results : No significant changes were found in musculoskeletal pain , work ability , productivity , perceived physical exertion , and sick leave with the intervention . Question naires and text messages provided similar results of pain and work ability . Conclusions : Although the intervention improved aerobic capacity , it was not successful in improving musculoskeletal pain and other work-related factors . A detectable improvement presumably requires a more multifaceted intervention , larger sample size , or longer follow-up . Text messages may be a convenient data - collection method in future studies
