Objectives: The aim of this systematic review update was to determine the average effect of massage for adults with neck pain (NP) contrasted against another standard treatment.
Methods: Randomised controlled trials comparing massage to standard treatments were included; placebo/no treatment comparisons were excluded. Databases were searched (CENTRAL, MEDLINE, EMBASE, CINAHL, ICL, trial registries) from inception to Oct-1-2023.
Article Synopsis
- Alpha-synucleinopathies, including Parkinson's disease and related conditions, show significant sex differences in symptoms, particularly neuropsychiatric symptoms (NPS).
- A systematic review of 240 studies with over 796,000 participants revealed that females generally experience higher rates of anxiety, depression, fatigue, and psychotic symptoms, while males have more prevalence of apathy and impulse control issues.
- These findings highlight the need to consider sex differences when developing clinical assessments and treatments for these disorders.
Objectives: Older adults may be under-represented in critical care research, and results may not apply to this specific population. Our primary objective was to evaluate the prevalence of inclusion of older adults across critical care trials focused on common ICU conditions or interventions. Our secondary objective was to evaluate whether older age was used as a stratification variable for randomization or outcome analysis.

Patients with an alternate level of care (ALC) status could be a target for flow optimization. We aimed to characterize ALC patients and risk factors for ALC status, and to propose an integrated model to analyze the trajectory of ALC patients and discuss solutions to reduce their burden.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFBackground: Massage is widely used for neck pain, but its effectiveness remains unclear.
Objectives: To assess the benefits and harms of massage compared to placebo or sham, no treatment or exercise as an adjuvant to the same co-intervention for acute to chronic persisting neck pain in adults with or without radiculopathy, including whiplash-associated disorders and cervicogenic headache.
Search Methods: We searched multiple databases (CENTRAL, MEDLINE, EMBASE, CINAHL, Index to Chiropractic Literature, trial registries) to 1 October 2023.
