Serious adverse events associated with conservative physical procedures directed towards the cervical spine: A systematic review.

Background: Previous reviews on serious adverse events (SAEs) following physical interventions involving the neck have focused on vascular SAEs or those related to cervical manipulation.

Objective: To review the evidence for all serious adverse events associated with any physical cervical procedures and describe SAE characteristics.

Methods: Searches were conducted in PubMed, EMBASE, CINAHL, Scopus, Cochrane, Web of Science and Index to Chiropractic Literature from inception to May 2023 for studies reporting characteristics of SAE following any neck intervention and patient demographics.

The Influence of "Labels" for Neck Pain on Recovery Expectations Following a Motor Vehicle Crash: An Online-Randomized Vignette-Based Experiment.

To (1) investigate whether different labels for neck pain after a motor vehicle crash (MVC) influenced recovery expectations and management beliefs, (2) explore reasons for low recovery expectations and greater likelihood for lodging a claim, and (3) explore the moderating effect of neck pain history and sociodemographic characteristics. Online randomized experiment with nested qualitative content analysis. We randomized 2229 participants from the general population (mean age: 46.

Clinical recognition of the role of the cervical spine in signs and symptoms of altered sensorimotor control.

Together with visual and vestibular input the cervical spine is vital for sensorimotor control of head and eye movement control, general body postural stability adjustments and co-ordination. Altered cervical input in persons with neck disorders can lead to signs and symptoms of impaired sensorimotor control across and within several domains. Clinical assessment for differential diagnosis and to direct management of cervical related altered sensorimotor control is clearly required in many patients.

Factors associated with patient-reported mouth opening activity limitations in individuals with persistent intra-articular temporomandibular disorders: A cross-sectional study exploring physical and self-reported outcomes.

Background: Individuals living with intra-articular temporomandibular disorders (IA-TMDs) often report limitations with mouth opening activities. While clinical measures such as active range of motion (AROM) and movement quality are often used to assess mouth opening function, it is unclear if and how these relate to patient-reported limitations and whether other factors such as kinesiophobia influence mouth opening activities in those with IA-TMDs.

Objectives: Compare clinical measures of mouth opening function in those with IA-TMDs to asymptomatic controls.
