global perceived<br />

effect, overall<br />

improvement <strong>and</strong><br />

adverse effects.<br />

For <strong>pain</strong> the scores were not significant between groups<br />

(p=0,84).<br />

Kroeling et al dididn't find convincing<br />

evidence of a clinically important benefit<br />

of electrotherapy for MND. The current<br />

evidence is lacking, limited, or<br />

conflicting.<br />

Although there is strong evidence<br />

suggesting that there are no statistically<br />

significant differences in the<br />

effectiveness of manual therapy<br />

compared with other interventions,<br />

patients receiving manual therapy<br />

interventions were significantly more<br />

satisfied with their care.<br />

Despite the absence of statistically<br />

significant results when compared to<br />

other interventions, patients receiving<br />

manual therapy demonstrated<br />

improvements in both the short <strong>and</strong> long<br />

term on a variety of outcomes.<br />

These results suggest that multimodal<br />

approach including manual therapy <strong>and</strong><br />

exercises, is a potentially useful<br />

intervention in the management of<br />

mechanical <strong>neck</strong> disorders, however<br />

further research is necessary to<br />

determine the cost‐effectiveness of this<br />

approach in comparison to other<br />

interventions.
