Principal Findings
decreased disability, disability, chronic WAD, pain
NSEIT was noninferior to NSE, and both groups demonstrated decreased disability and pain, with 47% (23/49)-58% (32/55) of the participants having a sustained clinically important change in disability and a ≥50% reduction in neck pain at the 15-month follow-up. The trial was the first to compare the efficacy of an internet-delivered NSE program including 4 physiotherapy sessions (NSEIT) with that of traditional face-to-face exercise sessions (NSE), showing sustained improved function in chronic WAD of grades II to III in both groups. The NSEIT program responds to the need for increased flexibility and availability for patients with chronic WAD.
