The types of treatments subjects reported varied, with treatments such as electrotherapy stimulation (30.3%), corsets or braces (20.9%), massage (28.1%), ultrasound (27.3%), heat (57.0%), and cold (47.4%) having unclear or little benefit based on the current best available reviews.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>Based on the current evidence for best practice, our findings indicate overutilization of diagnostic testing, narcotics, and modalities, and underutilization of effective treatments such as therapeutic exercise.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1002\/acr.20270","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2010,6,2]],"date-time":"2010-06-02T13:56:57Z","timestamp":1275487017000},"page":"1594-1601","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":102,"title":["Prevalence, practice patterns, and evidence for chronic neck pain"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"62","author":[{"given":"Adam P.","family":"Goode","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Janet","family":"Freburger","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Timothy","family":"Carey","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2010,11,2]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_6_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/BRS.0b013e3181644b06"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_3_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/BRS.0b013e31816445be"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_4_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/01.brs.0000225999.02326.ad"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_5_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/BRS.0b013e3181643f40"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_6_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/BRS.0b013e3181643f51"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_7_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/0304-3959(89)90133-4"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_8_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.5271\/sjweh.586"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_9_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/jama.299.6.656"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_10_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/BRS.0b013e3181b1fad1"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_11_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1377\/hlthaff.27.6.1491"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_12_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0140-6736(09)60172-0"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_13_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/BRS.0b013e31819792b0"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_14_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/archinternmed.2008.543"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_15_2","unstructured":"GENESYS\u2010IDplus.2008.
