Abstract

Introduction: This study systematically explores the effects of self-administered physical exercise training on alleviating flight-associated neck pain and improving functional outcomes in military pilots.

Methods: PubMed, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, Embase, Scopus, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, and the Chinese biomedical literature service system (SinoMed) were searched from inception to September 18, 2024. Standardized mean differences (SMD) or mean differences (MD) and 95% confidence intervals (95% CI) were calculated and data pooled using fixed or random effects models.

Results: Included were 7 studies involving 366 patients having neck pain. Military pilots who underwent self-administered physical exercise training showed a significant reduction in their Visual Analog Scale scores (SMD = -0.25, 95% CI: -0.47 to -0.03). The maximum voluntary contraction (MVC) of neck extension and flexion in military pilots did not increase significantly after self-administered physical exercise training (extension MVC, MD = 3.00, 95% CI: -1.33 to 7.33; flexion MVC, MD = 1.12, 95% CI: -2.12 to 4.36).

Discussion: Self-administered physical exercise training is an effective method for alleviating flight-associated neck pain in military pilots. However, its effectiveness in improving neck function among military pilots remains uncertain. Chen H, Wang M, Li J, Wang X, Fu Y, Gao B.

军事飞行员自我管理的体育锻炼训练和飞行相关的颈部疼痛。

本研究系统地探讨了自我管理的体育锻炼训练在缓解飞行相关颈部疼痛和改善军事飞行员功能预后方面的作用。方法：检索PubMed、Cochrane Library、Web of Science、Embase、Scopus、中国国家知识基础设施和中国生物医学文献服务系统（SinoMed）自成立至2024年9月18日的数据库。计算标准化平均差异（SMD）或平均差异（MD）和95%置信区间（95% CI），并使用固定或随机效应模型合并数据。结果：纳入7项研究，涉及366例颈部疼痛患者。接受自我管理的体育锻炼训练的军事飞行员的视觉模拟量表得分显著降低（SMD = -0.25, 95% CI: -0.47至-0.03）。军事飞行员颈部伸屈的最大自愿收缩（MVC）在自我管理的体育锻炼训练后没有显著增加(扩展MVC， MD = 3.00, 95% CI: -1.33 ~ 7.33；屈曲MVC， MD = 1.12, 95% CI: -2.12 ~ 4.36)。讨论：自我管理的体育锻炼训练是缓解军事飞行员飞行相关颈部疼痛的有效方法。然而，它在改善军事飞行员颈部功能方面的有效性仍不确定。陈红，王敏，李军，王欣，付勇，高斌。军事飞行员自主运动训练与飞行相关颈部疼痛。航空航天Med Hum Perform. 2025；96(4): 339 - 349。
