Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to study the central remodeling mechanism of young chronic neck pain patients based on resting-state functional magnetic resonance, and also to study the central analgesic mechanism of Chinese Jingjin Manual Therapy in treating young chronic neck pain patients. The main question it aims to answer are:

Are there specific differences in functional brain activities between young chronic neck pain patients and healthy volunteers? Are there specific changes in brain network function in young chronic neck pain patients before and after Chinese Jingjin Manual Therapy?

Participants will:

The patients in the neck pain group will receive Chinese Jingjin Manual Therapy three times a week for five consecutive weeks.

Before and after the Chinese Jingjin Manual Therapy, patients in the neck pain group were assessed by pressure pain threshold, Northwick Park Questionnaire, and Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale.

In addition, resting-state functional magnetic resonance data will be collected from the neck pain group and the healthy control group.

Chinese Jingjin Manual Therapy

Chinese Jingjin therapy is a form of manual therapy that utilizes the principles of Chinese Jingjin Theory (also known as Chinese Sinew Channel Theory) to alleviate nodular lesions in sinew channels caused by Jingjin injuries and to realign skeletal joints. Chinese Jingjin manual therapy is divided into three major parts: fascia manipulation, bone setting manipulation, and finishing techniques. The operation takes about 30 minutes, and there is one treatment every other day, three treatments per week, and five consecutive weeks of treatment.
