Rehabilitation Management of Neck Pain-Development of a Diagnostic Framework Based on the Pain and Disability Drivers Management Model.

ABSTRACT:

Rationale

Neck pain is a major cause of disability worldwide, and current rehabilitation strategies show limited effectiveness. Subgrouping patients by their primary pain and disability drivers can help tailor treatments. At this end, the Pain and Disability Drivers Management (PDDM) was developed and has demonstrated preliminary effectiveness in the management of low back pain. Nevertheless, the PDDM model was only validated for this population. Adapting this framework to patients with neck pain would provide a more global view of the patient's experience of pain and support a genuine biopsychosocial intervention.

Aims and objectives

The aim of this study was to develop and validate the content of the PDDM model for patients living with neck pain.
