Neck pain (NP) is one of the three most frequently reported musculoskeletal complaints, affecting 70% of individuals at some point in their lives. One treatment option that appears to be effective in relieving musculoskeletal pain in the head-neck area is osteopathic manipulative therapy (OMT). However, in most studies, the measures used to support these findings have been limited to subjective tests such as manual range of motion estimates by therapists, and survey statements provided by patients. Therefore, these research efforts are not sufficient to accurately determine the effectiveness of the therapy, characterize its mechanisms, or optimize treatment. The overall goal of the proposed project is to develop sensitive and objective clinical research tools for the assessment of motor control of the head-neck system. Objective control-oriented performance measures will be the basis for clinical research tool development. The first aim of this exploratory-type study will be to apply these tools to measure changes in position and force control of the head-neck system in patients with NP following OMT. The second aim will be to assess differences in position and force control of the head-neck system between patients with NP and healthy individuals. If these tools demonstrate differences between NP patients and healthy individuals and following OMT, more extensive research into the precise mechanisms of impairment and improvement from OMT can then be fully justified.

颈部疼痛（NP）是最经常报道的肌肉骨骼抱怨之一，在生活中的某个时候影响了70％的个体。 似乎有效缓解头颈肌肉骨骼疼痛的一种治疗选择是骨质疗法操纵疗法（OMT）。 但是，在大多数研究中，用于支持这些发现的措施仅限于主观测试，例如治疗师的手动运动估计以及患者提供的调查表。 因此，这些研究工作不足以准确确定治疗的有效性，表征其机制或优化治疗。 拟议项目的总体目标是开发敏感和客观的临床研究工具，以评估头颈系统的运动控制。 客观控制的绩效指标将是临床研究工具开发的基础。 这项探索性研究的第一个目的是应用这些工具来衡量OMT后NP患者的头颈系统的位置变化和力控制。 第二个目的是评估NP和健康个体患者之间头颈系统的位置和力控制差异。如果这些工具表现出NP患者与健康个体之间的差异，并且跟随OMT，那么对OMT的确切机制和改善的确切机制进行了更广泛的研究，就可以完全合理。
