No clinical trial of spinal manipulation for chronic neck pain, either for single or multiple intervention session(s), has employed an effective sham-manipulation control group. Validate a practical sham cervical high velocity, low amplitude (HVLA) spinal manipulation. Randomized, experimental validation study in an institutional clinical research laboratory Eligible subjects were males and females, 18–60 years of age with mechanical neck pain (as defined by the International Association for the Study of Pain Classification) of at least 3 months duration. Subjects with arm pain, any pathologic cause of neck pain or any contra-indication to spinal manipulation were excluded. The primary outcome was the patient’s self-report or “registration” of group allocation following treatment. Secondary outcomes were NRS-101 for neck pain, range of motion (by goniometer), tenderness (by pressure algometry). Eligible subjects were randomly allocated to one of two groups: “real” or sham cervical manipulation (RM or SM). All subjects were given two procedures in sequence, either RM+SM or SM+SM. Immediately following the two procedures, subjects were asked to register any pain experienced during the procedures and to identify their treatment group allocation. Force-time profiles were recorded during all procedures. Secondary clinical outcome measures were obtained at baseline, 5 and 15 minutes after the intervention including range of motion, self-report of pain and local spinous process tenderness. Data for each variable were summarized and tested for normality in distribution. Summary statistics were obtained for each variable and statistically tested. Funding for this study was obtained from the National Institutes of Health (NCCAM: R21 AT004396-01A1) and the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (BMT91926). No conflicts of interest exist in this study. Sixty-seven subjects were randomized. Data from 64 subjects (32 per group) were available for analysis. There were no significant differences between the groups at baseline. One adverse event occurred in the “real” group which was a mild post- treatment pain reaction lasting < 24 hours. In the RM group, 50% of subjects incorrectly registered their treatment allocation; in the sham group, 53% did so. For the SM group, none of the procedures resulted in cavitation while in the RM group, 87% of procedures resulted in cavitation. There were no significant changes between groups on pain, tenderness or ROM. Force-time profiles of the RM and SM procedures demonstrated fidelity with significant differences between components as intended. The novel sham procedure has been shown to be effective in masking subjects to group allocation and to be clinically inert with respect to common outcomes in the immediate post-treatment stage. Further research on serial applications and for multiple operators is warranted.
