Exercise programs may be effective in preventing a new episode of neck pain: a systematic review and meta-analysis

Design: Systematic review and meta-analysis of randomised, controlled trials.

Participants: People without neck pain at study entry.

Intervention: Any intervention aiming to prevent a future episode of neck pain.

Outcome measures: New episode of neck pain.

Results: Five trials including a total of 3852 individuals met the inclusion criteria. The pooled results from two randomised, controlled trials (500 participants) found moderate-quality evidence that exercise reduces the risk of a new episode of neck pain (OR 0.32, 95% CI 0.12 to 0.86). One of the meta-analysed trials included some co-interventions with the exercise. There was low-quality evidence from three randomised, controlled trials (3352 participants) that ergonomic programs do not reduce the risk of a new neck pain episode (OR 1.00, 95% CI 0.74 to 1.35).

Conclusion:This review found moderate-quality evidence supporting the effectiveness of an exercise program for reducing the risk of a new episode of neck pain. There is a need for high-quality randomised, controlled trials evaluating interventions to prevent new episodes of neck pain.
