Abstract

Objective: To analyze the clinical efficacy of a multimodal physical therapy program combined with pain neuroscience education (PNE) in elderly care workers with non-specific chronic neck pain (NSCNP).

Methods: A sample of 50 elderly care workers was randomly assigned to an Intervention Group (IG; n = 25), which received a multimodal physiotherapy program combined with PNE, and a Control Group (IG; n = 25). Self-reported pain intensity (VAS), pressure pain threshold (PPT), cervical disability (CDU), active cervical range of motion (CRoM), and health-related quality of life (HRQL), were analyzed.

Results: Significant results were observed for IG in the variables analyzed p < 0.001. Improvements were maintained with large effect sizes (d ≥ 0.9) after a 4-week follow up.

Conclusion: Five weeks of workplace-based physiotherapy combined with PNE reduced self-reported pain intensity and increase PPT and CRoM in caregivers with NSCNP.

非特异性慢性颈部疼痛的老年护理工作者的工作场所物理治疗：一项随机对照试验。

目的：分析多模式物理治疗结合疼痛神经科学教育（PNE）治疗老年护理人员非特异性慢性颈痛（NSCNP）的临床疗效。方法：将50名老年护理人员随机分为干预组（IG, n = 25）和对照组（IG, n = 25）。干预组采用多模式物理治疗方案联合PNE。分析自我报告的疼痛强度（VAS）、压痛阈值（PPT）、颈椎失能（CDU）、颈椎活动度（CRoM）和健康相关生活质量（HRQL）。结果：IG在变量分析中有显著结果p < 0.001。在4周的随访后，改善保持在较大的效应量（d≥0.9）。结论：五周的工作场所物理治疗联合PNE可降低NSCNP护理人员自我报告的疼痛强度，提高PPT和CRoM。
