Abstract

Purpose: The objective of this study was to examine the impact of ergonomics training, exercise, and manual therapy program on neck pain, neck awareness, sleep quality, and fatigue severity in individuals employed in a textile factory.

Methods: Sixty textile factory workers aged 18-60 with neck pain were randomly assigned to an intervention group (n = 30) or control group (n = 30). The intervention group received ergonomic training, exercise, and manual therapy, while the control group received only ergonomic training. Outcomes-including neck pain (Bournemouth Neck Questionnaire), neck awareness (Fremantle Neck Awareness Questionnaire), sleep quality (Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index), and fatigue severity (Fatigue Severity Scale)-were measured at baseline (week 0) and post-intervention (week 12). The clinical study is registered under the following number: NCT06484569.

Results: A significant difference was observed in both groups in terms of neck pain, neck awareness, sleep quality, and fatigue severity variables. A subsequent comparison of the post-treatment values of the two groups revealed a significant discrepancy between all outcome measures. A substantial difference was identified between the intervention and control groups with regard to fatigue severity, neck awareness, sleep quality, and neck pain.

Conclusion: The combination of ergonomics training, manual therapy and therapeutic exercise may represent an effective strategy for the management of neck disorders in textile workers.

纺织工人的人体工程学训练与运动和手工疗法：一项随机对照试验。

摘要目的：本研究旨在探讨工效学训练、运动及手工疗法对纺织厂员工颈部疼痛、颈部意识、睡眠质量及疲劳程度的影响。方法：将60名18 ~ 60岁的纺织工厂颈部疼痛工人随机分为干预组（n = 30）和对照组（n = 30）。干预组接受人体工程学训练、运动和手工治疗，对照组只接受人体工程学训练。结果-包括颈部疼痛（伯恩茅斯颈部问卷），颈部意识（弗里曼特尔颈部意识问卷），睡眠质量（匹兹堡睡眠质量指数）和疲劳严重程度（疲劳严重程度量表）-在基线（第0周）和干预后（第12周）进行测量。临床研究注册编号：NCT06484569。结果：两组患者在颈部疼痛、颈部意识、睡眠质量和疲劳程度变量方面存在显著差异。随后对两组的治疗后值进行比较，发现所有结果测量之间存在显著差异。干预组和对照组在疲劳程度、颈部意识、睡眠质量和颈部疼痛方面存在显著差异。结论：人体工程学训练、手工疗法和治疗性运动相结合可能是治疗纺织工人颈部疾病的有效策略。

期刊介绍： International Archives of Occupational and Environmental Health publishes Editorials, Review Articles, Original Articles, and Letters to the Editor. It welcomes any manuscripts dealing with occupational or ambient environmental problems, with a special interest in research at the interface of occupational health and clinical medicine. The scope ranges from Biological Monitoring to Dermatology, from Fibers and Dust to Human Toxicology, from Nanomaterials and Ultra-fine Dust to Night- and Shift Work, from Psycho-mental Distress and Burnout to Vibrations. A complete list of topics can be found on the right-hand side under For authors and editors. In addition, all papers should be based on present-day standards and relate to: -Clinical and epidemiological studies on morbidity and mortality -Clinical epidemiological studies on the parameters relevant to the estimation of health risks -Human experimental studies on environmental health effects. Animal experiments are only acceptable if relevant to pathogenic aspects. -Methods for studying the topics mentioned above.
