Abstract Background Neck pain is a common clinical disease, which seriously affects people’s mental health and quality of life and results in loss of social productivity. Improving neck pain’s curative effect and reducing its recurrence rate are major medical problems. Shi’s manipulation therapy has unique advantages and technical features that aid in the diagnosis and treatment of neck pain. Compared with first-line non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) treatment of neck pain, Shi’s cervical manipulation lacks the relevant research basis of therapeutic advantage, safety, and satisfaction for treating acute and subacute neck pain. Herein, we aim to confirm our hypothesis in a clinical trial that the safety and efficacy of Shi’s cervical manipulation will be more effective, safer, and more satisfactory than NSAIDs to treat acute and subacute neck pain. Methods In this multicenter, positive-controlled, randomized clinical trial, traditional analgesic drug (NSAID) is used to evaluate and show that Shi’s manipulation is more effective, safe, and satisfactory for treating acute and subacute neck pain. Overall, 240 subjects are randomly divided into the trial and control groups, with both groups treated by the corresponding main intervention method for up to 12 weeks. Clinical data will be collected before the intervention and immediately after the first treatment; at 3 days and 1, 2, 4, 8, and 12 weeks after the intervention; and at 26 and 52 weeks after treatment follow-up of clinical observation index data collection. The clinical observation indices are as follows: (1) cervical pain is the primary observation index, measured by Numerical Rating Scale. The secondary indices include the following: (2) cervical dysfunction index, measured by patient self-evaluation using cervical Neck Disability Index; (3) cervical activity measurement, measured by the cervical vertebra mobility measurement program of Android mobile phone system; (4) overall improvement, measured by patient self-evaluation with SF-36; and (5) satisfactory treatment, determined by patient self-evaluation. Discussion We will discuss whether Shi’s cervical manipulation has greater advantages in efficacy, safety, and satisfaction of acute and subacute neck pain than traditional NSAIDs, to provide a scientific basis for the dissemination and application of Shi’s cervical manipulation.

Object The authors report a series of 22 patients in whom major complications developed after cervical spinal manipulation therapy (CSMT). A second objective was to estimate the regional incidence of these complications and to compare it with the very low incidences reported in the literature. Methods During a 5-year period, practioners at a single group neurosurgical practice in Tulsa, Oklahoma, treated 22 patients, who were markedly worse during, or immediately after, CSMT. The details of these cases are reported. The 1995 US Government National Census was used to define the regional referral population for Tulsa. The published data regarding the incidence of serious CSMT-related complications and the rate of CSMTs undertaken nationally were used to estimate the expected number of CSMT-related complications in the authors' region. The number (22 cases) reported in this series was used to estimate the actual regional incidence. Complications in the series included radiculopathy (21 cases), myelopathy (11 cases), Brown–Séquard syndrome (two cases), and vertebral artery (VA) occlusion (one case). Twenty-one patients underwent surgery. Poor outcomes were observed in three, outcome was unchanged in one, and 17 improved. The number of patients in this series exceeded the expected number for the region. Conclusions Cervical spinal manipulation therapy may worsen preexisting cervical disc herniation or cause disc herniation resulting in radiculopathy, myelopathy, or VA compression. In cases of cervical spondylosis, CSMT may also worsen preexisting myelopathy or radiculopathy. Manipulation of the cervical spine may also be associated with higher complication rates than previously reported.

Brown Sequard Syndrome

✓A spinal epidural hematoma is an extremely rare complication of cervical spine manipulation therapy (CSMT). The authors present the case of an adult woman, otherwise in good health, who developed Brown–Séquard syndrome after CSMT. Decompressive surgery performed within 8 hours after the onset of symptoms allowed for complete recovery of the patient's preoperative neurological deficit. The unique feature of this case was the magnetic resonance image showing increased signal intensity in the paraspinal musculature consistent with a contusion, which probably formed after SMT. The pertinent literature is also reviewed.
