(…)
Patients were randomized to neck-specific exercises (NSE) or no treatment for 3 months.
(…)
RESULTS:
NSE significantly improved the NDI, SES, and EQ5D compared to waiting list (<0.01). There was significant improvement (p<0.0001) over time in all outcomes for NSE, and, apart from the PDI, significant worsening (p=0.002 to 0.0002) over time for the untreated group.
CONCLUSIONS:
NSE were more beneficial than no intervention while on a waiting list for individuals with chronic WAD.
