Neck Pain in Adolescent Headache Sufferers. A Cohort Study of Schoolchildren

Although neck pain (NP) and headache (HA) are often concomitant in adolescents, few data exist on the association of NP with HA in this age group. The aim of the study was to examine the association of concomitant NP with adolescent HA and with the outcome of HA. The associations of self-reported NP, physical findings of the neck and disc degeneration of the cervical spine with adolescent HA were studied. This study is part of a population-based follow-up study of 12-year-old children (N 1135/1409) with and without HA. A sample of adolescents (N = 304) was followed to the age of 16 years. At the age of 17 years, 69 of them participated in a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) study of the cervical spine. During the follow-up from 13 to 16 years of age, changes in both HA type and frequency were common. A poor outcome of HA was associated with NP interfering with daily activities at the age of 13 years. The changes in HA type were not predictable by NP. At the age of 16 years, local and referred palpation pain of the neck muscles, self-reported NP and NP intensity were associated with HA, and especially with disturbing HA unresponsive to analgesics. The association of NP with HA was not determined by HA type. Mild degenerative changes of the cervical spine were common but did not contribute to headache. HA in adolescence is often episodic, and prevention and treatment of NP could be important in the prevention of future chronic adult HA.

Relationship between therapeutic alliance and deep abdominal muscle recruitment in nonspecific low back pain sufferers

Chronic low back pain is a difficult condition to be treated. As some patients respond positively to treatment and others do not present any improvements, one can think there are others conditional factors that need to be elucidated. By means of this study, we sought to investigate the association between the occurrence of the formation of a positive relationship between patient and therapist, assessed by the therapeutic alliance inventory, and the adequate recruitment of the deep abdominal muscles, as well as to verify the effect of a protocol intervention based on motor control exercises on levels of pain and disability. The recruitment of the transverse abdominal and internal oblique muscles was examined by ultrasound imaging in 12 subjects with nonspecific chronic low back pain before and after implementation of a protocol for motor control exercises, with subsequent application of the therapeutic alliance inventory questionnaire. No association was found between the level of therapist/patient alliance and muscle recruitment. The proposed protocol was effective in reducing the levels of pain and disability; however, recruitment of transverse abdominal and internal oblique muscles showed no significant changes in the end of the intervention. Based on these findings, we verified that the therapeutic alliance has no association with muscle recruitment in the short term. However, although there were no changes in muscle recruitment after the intervention program, the level of pain and disability was reduced.
