Clinical prescription rules for prognosis & treatment in neck pain.

Man Ther Oct31 2016.

CPRs to identify people with neck pain for prognosis and treatment prescription has been a research priority for more than 20 years. This systematic review was undertaken to assess the present stage of development.

CPRs have not developed past the derivative stage. None have undergone impact analysis. Most prognostic & prescriptive CPRs for neck pain are still in the initial stage and therefore not yet supported.
