▼ Neck muscles have a high density of muscle spindle afferents and their input is critical for formulating the perception of head position relative to the body. Chronic alterations in afferent input from the neck may be studied in individuals with subclinical neck pain (SCNP), defined as non-severe recurrent neck pain lasting at least three months in the past year and testable on pain-free days so as to explore altered-afferent-input effects on cerebellar processing, upper extremity function and spatial awareness in the absence of pain. The first study tested participants with SCNP using transcranial magnetic stimulation to activate the cerebellar-thalamic-cortical circuit and produce cerebellar inhibition (CBI). SCNP participants were randomized to receive cervical manipulation or passive head movement (PHM), following which all participants completed a motor acquisition task. Healthy controls and SCNP participants who received manipulation showed significantly less CBI and improved motor performance whereas the SCNP group who received PHM showed no changes to CBI. The second study tested SCNP participants on upper extremity dart throwing. Three sets of ten darts were thrown at a slow-to-normal speed and three sets of ten darts were thrown at a fast speed. Compared to healthy participants, SCNP participants showed significantly greater elbow and forearm variability in motor selection, greater peak acceleration velocity of shoulder flexion-extension movement, and greater peak deceleration velocity of wrist movement. The third study looked at whether SCNP also impacted spatial awareness beyond an egocentric frame of reference, by measuring the response time to recognize objects which were rotated relative to their usual orientation. The SCNP group showed slower mental rotation at baseline and a smaller improvement when measured after four weeks (8.6%) in comparison to the healthy group (16.1%). These studies provide compelling evidence that chronic alterations in sensory input from the neck influences cerebellar integration leading to changes to upper extremity movement and spatial awareness of object orientation.

M.Tech. (Chiropractic)

Introduction: The most common chronic pain condition in modern society is neck pain (Jensen and Harms-Ringdahl, 2007). Chronic neck pain is a common complaint for many, from young patients to older patients with stressful work situations. According to Graham, Gross and Goldsmith (2006) neck disorders are common, disabling to various degrees and costly. Various structures in the cervical spine capable of transmitting pain include facet joints, intervertebral discs, nerve root dura, ligaments, and muscles (Manchikanti, Singh, Rivera and Pampati, 2002). According to Rochester (2009) chiropractors treat patients with chronic neck pain by using spinal manipulative therapy (SMT) to address a segmental joint hypomobility within the cervical spine as determined by joint motion palpation and endplay assessment. Traction is commonly used for the treatment of the spine by various physical therapists. It may be included as part of a chiropractic treatment protocol. According to Hooper (1996) traction involves the application of both manual and mechanical forces to draw adjacent body parts away from each other resulting in decompressed irritated tissues, realign parts, and relaxing tight structures. There are several types of cervical traction. The short and medium term improvement for chronic neck pain as well as the comparative effect of manual cervical traction versus mechanical cervical traction in combination with spinal manipulative therapy has not yet been established. Aim: This particular research study aimed to compare the short to medium term efficacy of manual cervical traction with mechanical cervical traction combined with spinal manipulative therapy with regards to decreased pain and improvement of cervical spine ranges of motion in patients with chronic neck pain. Methodology: Participants who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria were eligible to participate in this study. Advertisements were placed on notice boards around the campus of the University of Johannesburg and participants were recruited from the use of advertisements as well as word of mouth to partake in this research study. Thirty participants who suffered from chronic neck pain, volunteered for this comparative research study. This study was a randomized comparative study, where participants were randomly selected to be either in Group 1 or in Group 2. Group 1 received manual cervical traction whereas Group 2 received mechanical cervical traction. Both groups received spinal manipulative therapy to the restricted motion segments found in the cervical spine. Participants received seven trial sessions, with six treatments, over a period of two weeks. At the final 7th visit, one month after the sixth visit, no treatment was performed. Subjective and objective measurements were recorded at each visit. The subjective measurements of this particular study consisted of the Numerical Pain Rating Scale (NPRS) and the Vernon-Mior Neck Disability Index to evaluate the participants’ sensitivity to pain and disability. The objective…

▼ This thesis is presented in five chapters. The first and fifth chapters are an introduction and summary. The second chapter, A Comprehensive Review of the Literature Relating to Chronic Neck Pain and Whiplash Injuries, reports the results of a review of the relevant literature. In the first section, commonly used terms are reviewed and defined. The subsequent section reports on the literature regarding the nature of traffic accidents in the United States. Next is a section on the epidemiology of non-fatal motor vehicle accident (MVA) induced injuries in the U.S.. The proceeding section presents the methods and results of an estimation of the incident rate of whiplash for 1995. The next section is a review of the literature related to late whiplash. A meta-analysis of this literature yielded an estimated cumulative incidence of late whiplash of 33% of all whiplash-injured individuals at 33 months. The final section is a report of the economic and public health impact of motor vehicle accidents. The third chapter, "Whiplash Associated Disorders (WAD) - Redefining Whiplash And Its Management" By The Quebec Task Force: A Critical Evaluation, presents the results of an examination of a major whiplash publication for methodologic weaknesses. The current examination of this document revealed five areas of methodologic weakness that tended to weaken or invalidate the conclusions of the authors. The fourth chapter reports the results of a case/control study of chronic neck pain and motor vehicle accident injuries. For this study, 665 individuals with chronic spine pain were queried regarding the origin of their pain. If their pain began following a MVA, they were surveyed about details of the impact. The results of the survey were used to develop an exposure-odds ratio for whiplash injuries and chronic neck pain. In addition, information regarding the nature of the chronic-injury producing MVA was analyzed to determine if there were any significant risk factors for chronic pain following a MVA. Whiplash injuries were found to be the largest single cause of chronic spine pain in population sample studies. In addition, several risk factors were found to predict chronicity following an acute whiplash injury. Advisors/Committee Members: Rossignol, Annette M. (advisor).

peer-reviewed

Chronic neck pain (CNP) is a common and costly musculoskeletal condition with a lifetime prevalence of approximately 20% worldwide. In most cases the absence of structural deformity leads to a lack of specific diagnosis resulting in it being labelled as non-specific. Research has identified that due to its multi-factorial aetiology; multi-modal management interventions result in more beneficial long term outcomes. A muscular weakness, particularly of the deep neck flexor muscles is present in patients with CNP when compared to healthy counterparts. Clinical guidelines advocate the inclusion of active exercise, (including resistance exercise) as part of a multi-modal physiotherapy intervention for immediate and long-term improvements in isometric strength, reduced pain and perceived disability. Means of providing targeted resistance exercise to the deep neck flexors in patients with CNP outside of clinical and laboratory settings is lacking. The aim of this research study presented in this thesis was to investigate the role of targeted resistance exercise for the deep neck flexors in CNP rehabilitation. This research study was conducted in four main parts, two systematic reviews, and an examination of the feasibility and effect of a targeted resistance exercise program for the deep neck flexors using a novel deep neck flexor muscle strengthening tool known as “FLEXOR”, in healthy controls and as part of a multi-modal physiotherapy intervention for patients with CNP. An examination of the literature identified the effects of chronic pain on the cervical flexor musculature, as well as determining a FITT (frequency, intensity, time and type) exercise principle for resistance exercise in CNP. Feasibility studies using “FLEXOR” to deliver resistance exercise in a healthy population (n=22) and in patients with CNP (n=26) were conducted. Patients with CNP who used the “FLEXOR” device in conjunction with usual care physiotherapy had immediate and significant improvements in isometric strength, pain and perceived disability. Increases in isometric strength and reductions in pain were significantly different when compared to improvements made by patients who received usual care physiotherapy alone (p=0.01, p=0.02 respectively). A follow up descriptive study with trial participants provided further information on device and study design feasibility, as well as gaining insight into patient perceptions of the benefits of conducting resistance exercise independently for addressing any of the biopsychosocial issues of chronic pain. This project provides new insights into the feasibility, safety and potential benefits of targeted resistance exercise for the deep neck flexors as part of physiotherapy treatment in CNP management. These findings may guide future research and clinical decision making in treatment planning for patients with CNP.

Submitted in partial compliance with the requirements of the Master`s Degree in Technology: Chiropractic, Durban University of Technology, Durban, South Africa, 2019.

Background Musculoskeletal disorders are the leading cause of disability and can impair the quality of life. Of these musculoskeletal disorders, neck pain is one of the most common. Some of the risk factors for neck pain among the African population include low level of education, high-stress levels, low income and motor vehicle accidents. In the international arena, a broad range of risk factors contribute to chronic neck pain. These include female gender, increasing age, poor posture and work habits, twisting and bending of the neck and trunk, low–co-worker support, low socio-economic status and psychosocial factors such as stress and depression. Neck pain presents differently in different populations. The epidemiology of neck pain has not been investigated in Zimbabwe. In this country factors such as economic instability, disruption of social trust, uncertainty about income, high crime rate, unstable healthcare and low morale in the working population have led to the development of psychological disorders such as stress, anxiety, and depression. Furthermore, there has also recently been an increase of vehicle use in Zimbabwe, with concomitant motor vehicle accidents. All of these factors may predispose this population to musculoskeletal pain such as neck pain. However, this requires investigation. This study aimed to estimate the prevalence, risk factors and impact of neck pain in the indigenous African population in Harare, Zimbabwe. Methodology This was a quantitative cross-sectional study based on a previously validated questionnaire sourced from Smith (2016) and conducted in Harare, Zimbabwe. Participants (n = 461) answered a self-administered questionnaire after providing informed consent. The data collected from the questionnaires were captured into an excel spreadsheet and subsequently statistically analysed using SPSS. Standard deviation and mean reports are represented by (mean ± SD) within the text. Where standard deviation is represented by (SD). Tables, graphs and charts were used to present the data. The Inferential analysis was conducted using cross tabulations (interpreted using the Pearson chi- Squared test). The bivariate analysis was done using a Chi-Squared test (Interpreted using the Pearson`s chi-squared test). Odds ratios (OR) were calculated using binary logistic regression, This calculation was used to find dependant variables on an existent independent variable (Willemse 2009: 121). The 95% confidence intervals (CI) were calculated for Odds Ratios and for prevalence (Johnson and Bhattacharyya 2000: 331). A significance of a p- value less than 0.05 was used throughout. Results A total of 461 questionnaires were completed by participants in Harare, Zimbabwe. The point prevalence and 12-month prevalence was 16.4% (95% CI: 0.13 – 0.20) and 26.9% (95% CI: 0.22 – 0.31) respectively. The lifetime…

Masters Research - Master of Philosophy (MPhil)

Studies on the nociceptive (or pain) system have focused primarily on that of nociception of cutaneous origin, rather than that from deep structures that can also cause pain, such as bone and muscle. From what we do know of muscle pain, however, pain in deep tissues differs not only in sensation, but also in the sensory processing within the central nervous system. Thus, given these differences, it is remiss to suggest that the underlying mechanisms that drive cutaneous pain are also those that drive muscle pain. However, evidence is currently lacking. Further, for those studies that have been conducted on muscle pain, experimental models have focused primarily on limb muscles. This is possibly due to the ease of experimental design. Yet, like cutaneous and muscle pain, differences also exist between appendicular (eg. gastrocnemius) and axial (eg. rectus capitis major) muscles. Due to the structural disparity between the two, it is possible that the major clinical problem of pain syndromes within axial muscles, such as back and neck pain, exists due to these differences. Likewise, in order to model muscle pain of back or neck origin, a disease-specific model needs to be utilised. Accordingly, in order to test the underlying spinal mechanisms that accompany axial muscle pain, the rectus capitis major muscle of the mouse neck was injected with 2% carrageenan (in PBS), and c-Fos activation along with whole-cell patch clamp recordings including intrinsic neuronal properties, discharge patterns, hyperpolarising patterns, subthreshold currents, and spontaneous excitatory post-synaptic currents were obtained in the cervical (C1/C2) superficial dorsal horn (SDH) following an acute (2 hours) time frame. These results were contrasted against a sham-injected (PBS) and control (uninjected) model. Results indicate that following 2 hours of inflammation, neurons show c-Fos activation exclusively within the carrageenan-injection model along the mediolateral aspect of the SDH, ipsilateral to the injected muscle. This neuronal activation was coupled with electrophysiological results which indicate a significantly more depolarised resting membrane potential following carrageenan injection compared to control and PBS injected groups, a reduction in reluctant firer population following current injection protocols, and increase in T-type Ca²⁺ subthreshold currents and a decrease in hyperpolarisation-activated currents, which suggest an increase in spinal cord hyperexcitability. Surprisingly, an increase in decay kinetics was also identified in spontaneous excitatory post-synaptic currents 2 hours following carrageenan muscle injection. This alternatively would suggest a reduction in hyperexcitability. Accordingly, it can be concluded from these sets of experiments that within the isolated spinal cord, and therefore independent of further peripheral or descending input, the SDH of the cervical spinal cord shows attributes of hyperexcitability while still being under some form of…

M.Tech. (Chiropractic)

The aim of this study was to determine the most effective treatment protocol for cervical spine facet syndrome, with regards to treatment frequency. Group one was treated three times weekly, and group two was treated once weekly. Both groups were treated with chiropractic manipulation of the cervical spine over a period of six treatments with a two week follow-up consultation. It was hypothesised that the group treated three times weekly would respond better compared to the once weekly treatment group. The study was a clinical trial involving two experimental groups of fifteen patients each (n=15), total sample size N=30. Volunteers responded to advertisements placed in the local press. Those who met the criteria, in other words suffered from cervical spine facet syndrome, were included in the study. Objective data was acquired using a goniometer to measure cervical spine range of motion. Subjective data was obtained by participants recording their progress on the Vemon-Miorneck pain and disability index and the Numerical pain rating scale. Data obtained from the range of motion testing showed that both groups responded with statistical significance to the treatment, but no statistically significant difference was obtained when the two respective groups were compared to each other. It was also noted that specifically rotation bilaterally for both groups, and left lateral flexion for group 1 (treated three times weekly), showed no statistically significant improvement at all. Statistical analysis of the data obtained from the questionnaires indicated that both groups responded with statistical significance to the treatment, but when group was compared to group 2, no statistically significant difference was noted between the two groups. This rejects the hypothesis that three times weekly chiropractic treatment is more beneficial to the patient, than once weekly chiropractic treatment. This study concluded that there was no statistical difference between the two above mentioned groups and no difference in response to different treatment frequencies. Therefore it shows that less frequent treatment is not to the detriment of the patients' progress and might be of benefit for achieving cost effectiveness.

M.Tech. (Chiropractic)

Mechanical neck pain is the general term that refers to any type of pain within the cervical spine caused by placing abnormal stress and strain on muscles of the vertebral column. This is a very common musculo-skeletal disorder within the population, with 45% to 54% reporting neck pain at any given time of their lives (Martinez-Segura, Fernandez-de-las-Penas, Ruiz-Saez, Lopez-Jimenez and Rodriguez-Blanco, 2006). A vast majority of individuals do not experience a complete resolution of symptoms and as such often becomes a chronic pain (Cote, Cassidy, Carol and Kristman, 2004). Chronic pain by definition is one which is present for a period longer than six weeks (Segen, 2002). Accompanying the neck pain is often a limited or reduced range of motion within the cervical spine. Some studies suggest that hyper-tonicity and strain of the supporting muscles within this region due to an altered biomechanics also contributes to the pain and dysfunction (Armstrong, McNair and Williams, 2005 and Dall’Alba et al. 2001). One of the major muscle groups involved in this is the posterior cervical musculature. This is a general term used to describe the muscles located on the posterior aspect of the neck and includes longissimus capitis, semispinalis capitis, semispinalis cervicis, rotatores and multifidus (Dalley and Moore, 2006). Chiropractic adjustment therapy has been shown to have many effects of the body and especially the cervical spine including a decrease in pain perception and muscle hypertonicity (Kirkaldy-Willis and Cassidy, 1985), an increase in cervical range of motion (Bergmann, Peterson and Lawrence, 1993) as well as an increased skin pain tolerance level (Terrett and Vernon, 1984). Dry needling therapy has also been proven to have similar effects, including, a reduction in pain perception, an increase in range in motion of the specific linked biomechanical section, and most importantly a reduction of muscle tension (Travell and Simons, 1993). The purpose of this study was to see if a synergistic effect of the two above mentioned treatments would occur when combined under one treatment protocol. The aim of this study was to determine how effectively cervical adjustment therapy, dry needling of the posterior cervical muscles and a combination of the two treatments was in treating chronic mechanical neck pain with regards to pain, disability and cervical spine range of motion over a three week period. Participants were recruited from the University of Johannesburg Chiropractic Day Clinic. They were eligible to participate in the study once they met the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Participants were recruited by means of word of mouth as well as with the use of advertisements that were placed around the respective campuses of the University of Johannesburg. Thirty participants who presented with chronic mechanical neck pain, volunteered for this comparative study. This trial is a randomised controlled clinical trial which used convenience sampling. Group A received a combination treatment of…

The aim of this study was to compare the effects of chiropractic manipulative therapy with and without stripping massage of the sternocleidomastoid, with regards to pain, disability, cervical range of motion and head repositioning accuracy in the treatment of chronic mechanical neck pain. The aim was determined by using the Vernon-Mior Neck Pain and Disability Index, Numerical Pain Rating Scale and the Cervical Range of Motion measuring instrument (CROM).The study consisted of thirty participants that had an equal male to female distribution. An age range was set and individuals had to be between eighteen and fourty. Participants were chosen according to inclusion and exclusion criteria that were set before the study commenced. Treatment received by the participants was dependent on which group they were allocated to. Group One received just chiropractic manipulative therapy to three restricted segments of the cervical spine. Group Two also received chiropractic manipulative therapy to three restricted cervical segments and had stripping massage of both sternocleidomastoid muscles.Treatment consisted of six treatments sessions and with the seventh visit only readings were taken. Treatments were carried out twice weekly so that the treatment time period fell over a three week study period. Participants were asked to complete the subjective data before the first, fourth and seventh visit. Subjective data was gathered by using the following: Numerical Pain Rating Scale and a Vernon-Mior Neck and Pain Disability Index Questionnaire. The objective data that was recorded by the researcher consisted of the cervical range of motion that was gathered by using the Cervical Range of Motion (CROM) machine and the head repositioning accuracy. Participants then received either chiropractic manipulative therapy to the restricted cervical spinal segments or a combination of stripping massage to the sternocleidomastoid muscles as well as chiropractic manipulative therapy, depending on their groupallocation. All data gathered by the researcher and then analysed by a statistician at the University of Johannesburg...

Purpose: This study was undertaken in order to demonstrate the effects of static magnetic field therapy on acupuncture points in the treatment of those suffering from mechanical neck pain. Isolated spinal manipulative therapy of the cervical spine was compared to spinal manipulative therapy of the cervical spine in conjunction with magnetic field therapy on acupuncture points using both objective and subjective measurements. Before the execution of this study, it was hypothesised that both treatment protocols would be effective in the treatment of mechanical neck pain, although the combined therapy would be more effective. Method: Patients were recruited by way of advertisements placed in and around the University of Johannesburg, Doornfontein campus and their health clinic. Thirty patients with mechanical neck pain were recruited and randomly divided into two groups. Group one received manipulation to the affected joints of the cervical spine and group two received manipulation to the cervical spine combined with magnetic field therapy on acupuncture points. Procedure: Each patient in each group attended six treatment sessions; three in the first week and three in the second week. The Vernon Mior Neck Pain and Disability Index and the Numerical Pain Rating Scale (subjective measurements) were completed by each patient and the Cervical Range of Motion instrument (objective measurements) was used to collect readings from each patient in both the control and experimental groups, subjective and objective measurements were taken before treatment one, three and six. Specific treatment protocols were then adhered to. Results: The results indicated that both treatment protocols were effective in reducing mechanical neck pain although not one group was more effective than the other. Both groups improved subjectively and objectively as they had cervical spinal manipulation directed at joint dysfunction. Conclusion: The experimental group who received spinal manipulative therapy to correct joint dysfunction in conjunction with magnetic field therapy on acupuncture points was not more effective than the control group who received spinal manipulation only, in the treatment of mechanical neck pain.

M. Tech.

Objective: This study was conducted in order to compare the effectiveness of Chiropractic spinal manipulative therapy (SMT) combined with guided imagery versus only guided imagery in the treatment of chronic neck pain and stiffness. Chiropractic SMT is aimed at treating neck pain as well as increasing the range of motion (ROM) of the neck. Guided imagery is aimed at reducing stress levels within the patient with a secondary effect of reducing tension in the neck muscles. This study therefore also has a secondary purpose to assess the effects of stress on chronic neck pain. It was hypothesised that Chiropractic SMT combined with guided imagery would be more effective in the reduction of chronic neck pain than guided imagery or alone. This is based on the fact that Chiropractic SMT has been exhaustively proven to be effective in treating chronic neck pain as well as increasing cervical range of motion. Guided imagery has also been proven to be effective in reducing stress even though there has not been enough research on its effect on chronic neck pain and cervical range of motion. Methods: Patients were recruited by means of placing advertisements in and around the University of Johannesburg. Patients that presented to the Chiropractic day clinic with chronic neck pain between the ages of 18 and 30 were included in this study. The participants were then randomly placed in one of two groups. Group A received four sessions of Chiropractic SMT combined with two sessions of guided imagery while Group B received two sessions of guided imagery relaxation techniques and four sessions of detuned ultrasound (U/S). The researcher performed all the sessions of Chiropractic SMT and detuned U/S while Dr A. Fourie (a registered Counselling Psychologist) performed the Guided Imagery sessions. In the initial visit patients in both groups had to undergo a history taking, physical examination and cervical spine regional examination. They were required to sign subject information and consent form and complete a Neck Disability Index (NDI) Questionnaire, Numerical Pain Rating Scale and the Stress Questionnaire. The researcher measured their cervical range of motion on the first and last treatments. The objective and subjective data was collected on the first visit and again on the final visit.

M. Tech.

Cervical Facet Syndrome is a condition characterised by neck pain and decreased mobility of the cervical spine (Bovim et al., 1994). It is essentially the dysfunction of the posterior joints in the neck where muscle hypertonicity causes the ligaments to shorten (Gatterman, 1995). There is a high prevalence of Cervical Facet Syndrome in industrialised countries leading to a loss in productivity and costly expenditure in terms of treatment (Jordan et al., 1998). The aim of this research study was to assess the efficacy of treatment with injectables of the Anthroposophical medicine Disci comp. cum Argento on the symptoms of Cervical Facet Syndrome. These symptoms include pain and a decrease in range of motion. Pain was assessed using two questionnaires, namely the Visual Analogue Scale for Pain (Annexure D) and the Vernon Mior Neck Pain Disability Index (Annexure E). Range of motion was measured using the Cervical Range of Motion Goniometer (Annexure F). This was a double-blind, placebo-controlled trial. Thirty participants, male and female between the ages of 18 and 40 who had been pre-diagnosed with Cervical Facet Syndrome were recruited to participate in the research study. The study was conducted over a period of three weeks. On day one, participants were requested to complete a Consent Form (Annexure B), a Participant Profile (Annexure C), and the two questionnaires used to assess pain. Range of motion was measured by the researcher. The group was then randomly divided into two groups with 15 participants per group. The experimental group received subcutaneous injections of Disci comp. cum Argento and the control group received subcutaneous injections of saline. These injections were administered by the researcher and repeated three times a week for two weeks so that each participant received a total of six injections. A final assessment without treatment was completed in the third week. The two questionnaires and range of motion measurements were repeated at the third, sixth and seventh or final assessment. . The results of this study indicated that although both the remedy and placebo groups showed improvements, there was no significant difference in these improvements between the groups for the results obtained for the Visual Analogue Scale for Pain, Vernon Mior Neck Pain Disability Index and measurements of flexion, left rotation and left lateral flexion. There was however, significant differences in improvement between the visits in favour of the remedy group for measurements of extension, right rotation and right lateral flexion.

Introduction There is no proper definition of acute mechanical neck pain (AMNP) but it has been theorized that it has a sudden onset pain and lasts for a relatively short time. It occurs with or without injury and presents with pain in the shoulder and upper arm. Acute mechanical neck pain should not be accompanied by an inflammatory disease, neurological disease, fracture, dislocation, neoplasm or infection AIM The purpose of this study was to compare the relative effectiveness of homoeopathic Simillimum against Traumeel® (a commercial homoeopathic complex) in the treatment of acute mechanical neck pain using the neck disability scale, range of motion measurements and a subjective observation. METHODOLOGY This study was a double blind, quantitative, comparative; clinical trial that involved two treatment groups: Half the participants received the homoeopathic Simillimum and the other half received oral Traumeel® drops. Patients self-selected homoeopathic treatment. Patients were screened and only those who fit the inclusion criteria of suffering from AMNP of maximal two weeks duration, were English conversant and between the ages of 18 and 55 were included. Those suffering with AMNP were required to sign an informed consent form after the procedure was explained thoroughly. Each patient read through the procedure of the clinical trial and were informed that their participation was on a voluntary basis and they could withdraw at any time. Convenience sampling was utilised in which an independent person, using a simple sampling method, randomly allocated the patients into the respective groups. Of the 30 patients, 15 received Traumeel® and 15 received homoeopathic Simillimum. It was hypothesized that the homoeopathic Simillimum treatment would be more effective in the treatment of acute mechanical neck pain than oral Traumeel®. The treatment protocol consisted of three homoeopathic consultations within a seven day period, with the consultations scheduled on days one, three and seven. Subjective and objective measurements were taken at each of the three consultations, Durban University of Technology Homoeopathic Day Clinic, Steve Biko Campus. A Simillimum treatment was prescribed for every patient based on full homoeopathic case history. This Simillimum was confirmed by the co-supervisor. Half of the patients were dispensed the Simillimum and the other half received Traumeel® according to the randomisation list. At the first follow up, on day three, the patients were reassessed according to their progress, perception and their range of motion, and the progress of the patient was analysed. In the last consultation on day seven, the progress of the patient was analysed using the perceptive questionnaire of the Neck Disability Index and the objective cervical range of motion. Full physical examinations were carried…
