Good vibes for the brain - Placebo versus real vibration in patients with chronic neck pain: A randomized cross-over study.

Background: Neck muscle vibration decreases pain and improves sensorimotor impairments in patients with chronic neck pain. However, the impact of placebo on these effects are still unclear.

Objective: The aim was to evaluate the effect of neck muscle vibration compared to placebo neck muscle vibration in patients with chronic neck pain.

Immediate effects of visuomotor tracking with the head on cervical sensorimotor function and pain in chronic neck pain patients.

Background: Working in awkward and sustained postures is, besides psychosocial risk factors, the most reported physical risk factor for neck pain. Accurate proprioception is fundamental to correcting awkward head-to-trunk positions, but impaired proprioceptive performance has been found in patients with chronic neck pain.

Objective: The aim was to compare the effectiveness of two different interventions in a workplace set-up on sensorimotor performance and pain sensitivity in people with chronic neck pain.
