1 How do you assess someone with Exclude "red flags" , serious spinal pathology How do I assess someone with neck pain?<br />

neck pain?<br />

or nerve root pain (radiculopathy) and possible * Exclude non-musculoskeletal causes, such as cardiovascular, respiratory,<br />

facet joint spinal pain.<br />

and oesophageal diseases, and acute upper respiratory tract infection and<br />

sore throat.<br />

* Look for 'red flags' (that suggest a serious spinal abnormality). If pres<strong>en</strong>t,<br />

refer urg<strong>en</strong>tly for investigations and further assessm<strong>en</strong>t.<br />

* If the neck pain and other symptoms follow rec<strong>en</strong>t sudd<strong>en</strong> or excessive<br />

hyperext<strong>en</strong>sion, flexion, or rotation of the neck, see CKS topic on Neck painwhiplash<br />

injury.<br />

* If the neck pain is due to acute spasm with no obvious underlying cause,<br />

see the CKs topic on Neck pain- acute torticollis.<br />

* If the neck varies with differ<strong>en</strong>t physical activities and with time, or is related<br />

to an awkward movem<strong>en</strong>t, poor posture, or overuse, suspect non-specific neck<br />

pain.<br />

* If there is unilateral neck, shoulder, or arm pain that aproximates to a<br />

dermatome, suspect cervical radiculopathy, see the CKS topic on Neck Paincervical<br />

radiculopathy. there may be altered s<strong>en</strong>sation or numbness, or<br />

weakness in related muscles. However, the pres<strong>en</strong>ce of pain or parasthesia<br />

radiating into the arm is not specific for nerve root pain and may be pres<strong>en</strong>t in<br />

people with non-specific neck pain.<br />

* Id<strong>en</strong>tify risk factors for developing neck pain: 1) workplace associated risks<br />

(awkward neck postures, neck flexion, arm force, arm posture, duration of<br />

sitting, twisting or b<strong>en</strong>ding of the trunk, had-arm vibration, and some<br />

workplace designs.) 2) excessive use of pillows.<br />

* Id<strong>en</strong>tify psychosocial factors that may indicate increased risk for chronicity<br />

and disability. Id<strong>en</strong>tify any excessive concerns about the neck pain,<br />

unrealistic expectations of treatm<strong>en</strong>t, disbling sickness behaviour, and<br />

problems with comp<strong>en</strong>sation, work, family, mood and emotions.<br />

* Cervical X-rays and other imaging studies and investigations are not routinely<br />

required to <strong>diagnose</strong> or assess neck pain with radiculopathy and non-specific<br />

neck pain.<br />

2 What are the diagnostic procedures • No evid<strong>en</strong>ce for diagnostic accuracy of<br />

to be performed to <strong>diagnose</strong> non- history talking is found.<br />

specific neck pain?<br />

• No evid<strong>en</strong>ce for diagnostic imaging for<br />

pati<strong>en</strong>ts with non-specific neck pain is<br />

found.<br />

Older age and cocomitant low back pain are<br />

indicators of a less favourable prognosis of neck<br />

pain.<br />

Radiological findings are not associated with<br />

worse diagnosis, but the severity of pain and a<br />

history of previous attacks however seem to be<br />

associated with worse diagnosis.<br />

The ‘Acute Low Back Pain Scre<strong>en</strong>ing instrum<strong>en</strong>t’<br />

seems to be a reliable instrum<strong>en</strong>t in scre<strong>en</strong>ing<br />

pati<strong>en</strong>ts with non-specific neck pain at risk for<br />

prolonged sick leave.<br />

• Exclude 'radiculopathy'. With<br />

combinations of the following test,<br />

radiculopathy can be confirmed or excluded:<br />

o Argum<strong>en</strong>ts to confirm radiculopathy :<br />

*Positive Spurling Test<br />

*Positive Traction Distraction test<br />

*Positive Vasalva manoevre<br />

*Positive Shoulder Abduction test<br />

o Argum<strong>en</strong>ts to exclude radiculopathy:<br />

*Negative Upper Limb T<strong>en</strong>sion test.<br />

How do I assess someone with neck pain?<br />

* Exclude non-musculoskeletal causes, such as<br />

cardiovascular, respiratory, and oesophageal diseases,<br />

and acute upper respiratory tract infection and sore<br />

throat.<br />

* Look for 'red flags' (that suggest a serious spinal<br />

abnormality). If pres<strong>en</strong>t, refer urg<strong>en</strong>tly for investigations<br />

of the neck, see CKS topic on Neck pain-whiplash<br />

pain. If a working<br />

examination procedures<br />

fails, than local<br />

used for proving or<br />

excluding facet joint<br />
