Important Note: Redirection of Services to ChiCTR
We would like to inform you that the Clinical Trial Registry page will discontinue the function of updating trial information directly on this platform. However, you will still be able to view the existing registration details. For any updates to trial information, you can use the China Clinical Trial Registry (ChiCTR) directly at https://www.chictr.org.cn. This change will be fully implemented by 2024-Aug-05. Thank you for your attention.

The study investigates the effectiveness of a new approach combining motor control training and ergonomic interventions, in comparison to the conventional physiotherapy treatment which is more focused on symptom relief.
12 weeks for each group
Ergomotor Intervention compared to conventional physiotherapy. Duration is 12 weeks for each type of intervention.
. Inclusion criteria involves a presence of chronic musculoskeletal pain of a “soft-tissue” nature for at least 1 month in the neck-shoulder region from initial onset, without any traumatic injury such as laceration or fracture.
Subject must affirm that the pain is related or aggravated by work activities. The level of pain must be more than 2/10 in a numerical rating scale of 0-10 with 10 being extreme pain.
There must be no or only slight degenerative changes demonstrated on x-rays and/or MRI, no serious pathology nor any known neurological deficits or dysfunctions

Primary outcome is measured pre- and post-intervention. They include:
1. Subjective measures - pain scores and functional outcome measure scores. Pain score is measured as Numerical Pain Rating Scale (NPRS) of 0-10.
2. Functional outcome measure -include the NDI and the DASH total scores.
Seconary outcomes: 1. EMG amplitudes of neck muscles – amplitude ratios of muscles during functional tasks.
2. Work status and disability claims. The subject’s ability to perform his/her work on a full-time basis (at his/her pre-morbid capacity) is considered as the work status. 3. Cost-effectiveness is evaluated by comparing the healthcare costs of conventional physiotherapy treatment program to the cost of ergomotor training program.
