SHOULDER & ELBOW
Implementation of neck/shoulder exercises for pain relief among industrial workers: a randomized controlled trial
OrthoEvidence Journal (OE Journal) - ACE Report
OE Journal. 2013;1(17):13 BMC Musculoskelet Disord. 2011 Sep 21;12:205. doi: 10.1186/1471-2474-12-205537 industrial workers were randomized to examine the effect of strength training at the workplace on non-specific neck and shoulder pain. Participants received 20 weeks of either high-intensity strength training for the neck and shoulders (3 sessions per week) or a control treatment, where patients received advice to stay physically active (1 session per week). The assessment after 20 weeks revealed that high-intensity strength training led to better overall reduction in neck and shoulder pain among industrial workers.
Was the allocation sequence adequately generated?
Was allocation adequately concealed?
Blinding Treatment Providers: Was knowledge of the allocated interventions adequately prevented?
Blinding Outcome Assessors: Was knowledge of the allocated interventions adequately prevented?
Blinding Patients: Was knowledge of the allocated interventions adequately prevented?
Was loss to follow-up (missing outcome data) infrequent?
Are reports of the study free of suggestion of selective outcome reporting?
Were outcomes objective, patient-important and assessed in a manner to limit bias (ie. duplicate assessors, Independent assessors)?
Was the sample size sufficiently large to assure a balance of prognosis and sufficiently large number of outcome events?
Was investigator expertise/experience with both treatment and control techniques likely the same (ie.were criteria for surgeon participation/expertise provided)?

Fragility Indexは、重要な所見の解釈を助けるツールで、結果の強さの尺度を提供します。Fragility Indexは、その所見が有意でなくなるために、二項対立の結果に追加する必要がある連続した事象の数を表します。数値が小さいほど弱い所見を表し、数値が大きいほど強い所見を表します。
なぜ今この研究が必要なのですか?
Of the musculoskeletal conditions that are often reported in association with the workplace, neck and shoulder pain represent two of the most commonly reported ailments. The discomfort is thought to be mainly manifested through physical factors, such as repetitive tasks and tiring postures. Strength training has been offered as a efficacious intervention to alleviate neck and shoulder pain, although the evidence in support of strength training has been primarily focused in office workers. Accordingly, the effectiveness of strength training in other job settings, specifically the industrial sector, needed to be determined
主な研究課題は何ですか?
Was participating in high-intensity strength training more effective in improving neck and shoulder pain among industrial workers compared to receiving advice to stay physically active, assessed at 20 weeks?
重要な知見は?
- Regular adherence to the training program (at least once a week) was 85%.
- Pain intensity in the neck decreased significantly in the training group in comparison to the control group (-0.6, 95% CI: -1.0 to -0.1, P < 0.001).
- Pain intensity in the shoulder tended to decrease in the training group (-0.2, 95% CI: -0.5 to 0.1, P = 0.07).
- In respect to the rehabilitative effect of training, the odds ratio for participants defined as cases at baseline (in the training group compared to the control group) for being non-cases at follow-up was 2.0 (95% CI: 1.0 to 4.2) for the neck and 3.9 (95% CI: 1.7 to 9.4) for the shoulder.
- In terms of preventative effect on training, the odds ratio for participants defined as non-cases at baseline (in the training group compared to the control group) for being cases at follow-up was 0.6 (95% CI: 0.2 to 1.5) for the neck and 0.6 (95% CI: 0.3 to 1.3) for the shoulder.
最も覚えておくべきことは?
This study revealed that the specific strength training program reduced the overall neck and shoulder pain among industrial workers when compared to the control treatment.
それが私の患者ケアにどのように影響するか?
This study suggests that the strength training program provides clinically important reductions in neck and shoulder pain in a population of industrial workers over 20 weeks. However, maintenance of improvements in neck and shoulder pain should be determine in studies with follow-up periods. Comparisons to other exercise/training protocols should also be considered.
