Objective: Recently, psychological, and behavioral interventions such as cognitive functional therapy (CFT) has gained significant attention in musculoskeletal rehabilitation. We aimed to compare interventions with a CFT component in adults (>18 years old) suffering from chronic neck pain (CNP) or chronic whiplash associated disorders (>3 months) with another intervention or no intervention, in pain, disability, kinesiophobia, or any other reported outcome measure.
Results: One case-study and three randomized controlled trials met the eligibility criteria.

The nociceptive withdrawal reflex (NWR) is a spinal withdrawal reflex induced by painful stimulation. It is a measure of spinal hyperexcitability, which is believed to contribute to chronic musculoskeletal pain (MSKP) and headache. Previous syntheses of the evidence for alterations in the NWR in patients with chronic MSKP and headache needed a comprehensive update.

Article Synopsis
- Chronic headaches are a common issue for military Veterans after experiencing traumatic brain injuries (TBI), and their treatment is often complicated and costly.
- A study of 141,125 Veterans post-9/11 revealed that those with specific types of headache combinations, especially post-TBI migraines, faced significantly higher healthcare costs.
- There's a need for further research to understand if the high costs correlate with better treatment results or indicate persistent, harder-to-treat headaches.

Article Synopsis
- Cervicogenic headaches (CGH) often occur after concussions and whiplash, leading to a decreased quality of life, and existing treatments like exercises and physiotherapy have had limited success.
- This trial will test the combination of transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) with exercise therapy (ET) in adults aged 18-65, assessing its feasibility and safety, with participants receiving either active or sham tDCS over six weeks.
- The study aims to show that tDCS is a safe and practical approach to treat CGH, potentially improving pain, strength, function, and overall quality of life for affected individuals.
