Neck-specific Training or Prescribed Physical Activity for Patients With Cervical Radiculopathy

6. September 2017 aktualisiert von: Åsa Dedering, Karolinska University Hospital

Interventions for Patients With Cervical Radiculopathy- Neck-specific Training With a Cognitive Behavioural Approach Compared With Prescribed Physical Activity in a Prospective Randomised Controlled Trial

The overall objective is to evaluate if treatment with a neck-specific exercise program and cognitive behavioural approach improves the outcome compared with prescribed, self-mediated and progressive physical activity in patients with cervical radiculopathy. There is a lack of evidence of the best treatment for the patient category. Many patients are sick-listed for long periods of time with different kind of treatment approaches or without any treatment at all. The present study could fill the identified knowledge gap by strengthening of the currently weak scientific evidence for treatment of the patient category. The long-term effects of the study could be to reduce the time for sick leave and improve the rate of patients returning to work and/ or former activity by optimising treatments. Further on, to decrease the number of patients who finally have surgery for their neck problems and thus reducing the mental, physical and social costs.

Studienübersicht

Detaillierte Beschreibung

Patients with cervical radiculopathy have neck- and arm pain, neurological changes, activity limitations and difficulties in returning to work. The current scientific evidence lacks randomised controlled trials to compare surgery with conservative treatment as well as to evaluate different conservative interventions. Most patients are not candidates for surgery and are sick-listed for long time with different treatment approaches or without any treatment at all. The purpose is to evaluate if treatment with neck-specific training and a cognitive behavioral approach improves the outcome compared with prescribed physical activity. Methods: A randomized controlled trial including 144 patients will compare the intervention neck specific training and cognitive behavioural approach with an intervention of prescribed physical activity. The interventions will be led by experienced and specialised physiotherapists and last 14 weeks. Main outcome variable is pain intensity (VAS scale) accompanied with assessments of impairments and subjective health measurements undertaken before intervention and at 3, 6, 12 and 24 months. Implementation: The results will be presented scientifically as well as popularly in publications and professional meetings. Active implementation strategies to change physiotherapists treatment behaviour will be used. The best method will be chosen after surveying the physiotherapists treating patients in the current study regarding experiences, education and organisational context.

Intervention / Behandlung
Sonstiges: Prescribed physical activity
Prescribed physical activity is a tailored physical activity programme with monitoring of progress and a follow-up. Also includes interview: exploratory talk, commitment/decision, life style change, health promotion, evaluation of readiness for change, reflection, assessment of motivation, patient specific goal assessment, conclusion and plan for follow-up at 14 weeks. Patients are guided by the physiotherapist to increase their overall activity and strength with i.e. walking and other self-mediated activities and exercise.

Sonstiges: Neck specific training
The active physiotherapy rehabilitation program consists of a standardised and structured physiotherapy program (twice a week) with medical exercise therapy and if needed vestibular rehabilitation. At the start of the intervention motivational interviewing will be included. Additionally once a week during the first 14 weeks of the program the physiotherapist informs the patient about physiology of pain, stress, exercise, breathing, relaxation, coping, pacing and ergonomics. All through the treatment program a cognitive approach from the physiotherapist according to theoretical behaviour change models will be used.
