A secondary aim of this review was to provide an overview of recommendations for manipulation or mobilization in patients with neck pain. Manipulation or mobilization treatment of patients with neck pain is under debate for its potential risk of serious adverse events. Serious adverse events are rare, but it is the clinicians\u2019 responsibility to thoroughly screen patients at risk of vascular complications. A third aim of this review was to describe the extent to which the included guidelines inform clinical practice about screening for the risk of complications due to vascular pathology in the cervical spine.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>A systematic review of 13 electronic databases and 4 repositories was performed for potentially relevant guidelines published between January 1, 2000 and September 22, 2022. Two reviewers independently appraised eligible guidelines using Appraisal of Guidelines for Research and Evaluation II (AGREE II) and Appraisal of Guidelines for Research and Evaluation: Recommendation EXcellence (AGREE-REX) criteria. A best evidence synthesis was performed, and screening of risk factors was assessed.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>A total of 19 CPGs were included, of which 5 were of high quality. All high-quality guidelines recommend the use of manipulation or mobilization, with or without exercise. Eight (42%) guidelines described the screening of risk factors for adverse events. Two (11%) guidelines met the a priori defined criteria for screening and scored present and complete.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>International CPGs consistently recommend the use of manipulations and mobilizations in the treatment of neck pain.
