Effect of osteopathic manipulation on pain, disability, range of motion and reposition sense in subjects with postural neck pain: a systematic review protocol.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Postural neck pain is a prevalent musculoskeletal condition associated with discomfort, disability and impaired quality of life. Osteopathic manipulation has emerged as a potential intervention for managing postural neck pain, but a comprehensive synthesis of the existing evidence is lacking. This systematic review protocol introduces the rationale and objective to evaluate the effectiveness of osteopathic manipulation in alleviating postural neck pain and improving associated outcomes, including pain intensity, disability, range of motion and reposition sense.

Methods

We outline a rigorous methodology for this systematic review. A comprehensive search strategy will be implemented across various databases to identify relevant studies. This systematic review will
