Information needs for people with neck pain seeking physiotherapy neck manipulation or mobilization: an exploratory study
The study found that adults with neck pain who received physiotherapy involving neck manipulation or mobilization were well informed about the benefits, risks, and potential major and minor adverse events of their treatment. Their expectations for treatment were generally positive, and they experienced minimal decisional conflict. To further support shared decision-making, we recommend adding a qualitative component, such as structured interviews or focus groups with inter-professional child/infant-parent dyads, to help clinicians improve patient counseling and decision-making guidance.
