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）是三种最常见的肌肉骨骼疾病之一，影响了70%的人在他们生活中的某个时候。 一种治疗选择，似乎是有效的缓解头颈部肌肉骨骼疼痛是整骨手法治疗（OMT）。 然而，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，如治疗师的手动运动范围估计，以及患者提供的调查报告。 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。 该项目的总体目标是开发敏感和客观的临床研究工具，用于评估头颈系统的运动控制。 以控制为导向的客观性能指标将是临床研究工具开发的基础。 本探索性研究的第一个目的是应用这些工具测量OMT后NP患者头颈系统位置和力控制的变化。 第二个目标是评估NP患者和健康个体之间头颈系统位置和力控制的差异。如果这些工具证明NP患者和健康个体之间的差异，并遵循OMT，更广泛的研究损伤和改善的确切机制，从OMT可以完全证明。
