Effects of Virtual Reality Therapy Combined With Conventional Rehabilitation on Pain, Kinematic Function, and Disability in Patients With Chronic Neck Pain: Randomized Controlled Trial

Effects of Virtual Reality Therapy Combined With Conventional Rehabilitation on Pain, Kinematic Function, and Disability in Patients With Chronic Neck Pain: Randomized Controlled Trial

Chronic neck pain is a prevalent global health issue, with reported prevalence rates ranging from 10% to 24% [1,2]. This condition is closely associated with motor dysfunction in the cervical region, characterized by deficits in various kinematic functions of the neck [3-5].

Machine Learning and Symptom Patterns in Degenerative Cervical Myelopathy: Web-Based Survey Study

Machine Learning and Symptom Patterns in Degenerative Cervical Myelopathy: Web-Based Survey Study

DCM often presents with neck pain, sensorimotor dysfunction in the upper or lower limbs, gait disturbance, and bladder or bowel dysfunction [2,10-14]. Examination findings include upper motor neuron signs in the limbs, such as positive Babinski sign, positive Hoffman sign, hyperreflexia, and increased tone [2,10-13]. Its symptomatology is very heterogeneous, making early detection difficult. This heterogeneity makes it difficult to measure or understand what drives consequences.

Internet Tool to Support Self-Assessment and Self-Swabbing of Sore Throat: Development and Feasibility Study

Internet Tool to Support Self-Assessment and Self-Swabbing of Sore Throat: Development and Feasibility Study

However, 1 participant described uncertainty when trying to examine for enlarged lymph nodes in the neck: It was okay. When trying to feel for the neck it was hard to know what’s what, whether, you know, is it the tongue muscle or is it, whatever so. Other than that yeah it was okay.

App-Controlled Treatment Monitoring and Support for Patients With Head and Neck Cancer Undergoing Radiotherapy: Results From a Prospective Randomized Controlled Trial

App-Controlled Treatment Monitoring and Support for Patients With Head and Neck Cancer Undergoing Radiotherapy: Results From a Prospective Randomized Controlled Trial

Head and neck cancers (HNCs) are among the most common malignancies worldwide, affecting more than 740,000 patients and resulting in 360,000 deaths per year [1]. Treatment for nonmetastatic HNC depends on disease stage and localization and usually requires multimodal approaches comprising surgery, radiotherapy, and concomitant systemic treatments [2-4].

Rapidly Deteriorating Degenerative Cervical Myelopathy Following Ventricular Shunt Revision for Hydrocephalus: Case Report

Rapidly Deteriorating Degenerative Cervical Myelopathy Following Ventricular Shunt Revision for Hydrocephalus: Case Report

The first mechanism is due to general anesthesia, either through neck manipulation for intubation or spinal cord hypoperfusion. Ordinarily, the neck is hyperextended to facilitate intubation. This increases the loading on the spinal cord via stretch but also reduces the spinal canal diameter. For an individual with a normal cervical spine, this has no consequence [4]. However, in patients with cervical stenosis, this could lead to further injury [4] and hypoperfusion [5-7].

Efficacy of Neck-Specific Exercise With Internet Support Versus Neck-Specific Exercise at a Physiotherapy Clinic in Chronic Whiplash-Associated Disorders: Multicenter Randomized Controlled Noninferiority Trial

Efficacy of Neck-Specific Exercise With Internet Support Versus Neck-Specific Exercise at a Physiotherapy Clinic in Chronic Whiplash-Associated Disorders: Multicenter Randomized Controlled Noninferiority Trial

Neck-specific exercises (NSEs) with or without a behavioral approach have demonstrated promising results in WAD grades II and III, with long-term improvement in disability compared to prescribed physical activity [10,11]. Neck pain and impaired neck muscle function have been reported in WAD [12-14], and improved muscle function and decreased pain were seen after 3 months of NSE [15], with large effect sizes for self-reported neck function (r=0.88) [16].

The Association Between the Use of Low-Slice Computed Tomography Machines and Downstream Care: Comparative Study of 16-Slice and 64-Slice Computed Tomography Angiography

The Association Between the Use of Low-Slice Computed Tomography Machines and Downstream Care: Comparative Study of 16-Slice and 64-Slice Computed Tomography Angiography

In order to assess the potential benefits of the use of CT machines with a greater number of slices in underresourced outpatient settings, this study examined the association between the use of 16-slice and 64-slice CT machines to perform the CT angiography of the neck and subsequent cervicocerebral angiography within a population of patients that had not recently undergone head/neck imaging, catheterization, or percutaneous coronary interventions and had undergone imaging at facilities with only a single type
