简要总结
The purpose of this study was to assess if pain and function in patients with neck pain is less when physical therapists use a classification system.
详细描述
The purpose of this study was to prospectively assess pain and function scores in patients with neck pain, with therapists specifically trained to implement a treatment based classification and matched interventions system. This study consisted of two phases to determine whether implementing a classification changed patient outcomes. In phase one, baseline data was obtained while physical therapists continued with their current neck pain evaluation and intervention approaches. The second phase involved educating the therapists in the neck classification system with the matched interventions. Pain and function outcomes were analyzed for 2 phases. The overall goal was to prospectively determine if the implementation of this classification system with matched interventions could enhance patient outcomes.

结局指标
主要结局
Neck Disability Index (NDI)
时间窗: up to 107 days
NDI was measured on initial evaluation and at the time the patient was discharged from care which varied for each patient (ranged from 3 to 107 days).
Numeric Pain Rating (NPR)
时间窗: up to 107 days
NPR was measured on initial evaluation and at the time the patient was discharged from care which varied for each patient (ranged from 3 to 107 days).
次要结局
- Number of Visits(Measured from initial evaluation to time of discharge from care; up to 107 days.)
- Duration of Care(Number of days of care, measured from initial evaluation to time of discharge from care; up to 107 days.)
