Physical and Psychological Predictors for Persistent and Recurrent Non‐Specific Neck Pain: A Systematic Review
This review provides evidence to support the addition of early assessment of pain catastrophizing and psychological distress to identify patients that are more susceptible to persistent and recurrent neck pain. When warranted, psychological interventions targeting maladaptive beliefs, pain-related anxiety and catastrophizing may be required to minimize persistent and recurrent neck pain and disability.
