- Abstract
The article discusses a study evaluating whether Chinese manipulation improves pain, function/disability and global perceived effect in adults with acute/subacute/chronic neck pain, by searching the literature. Quality of the evidence was assessed by the Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development and Evaluation (GRADE) approach. The results revealed scarcity of evidence showing Chinese manipulation could produce short-term improvement for neck pain.
