Cervical lateral glide reduced pain compared to no treatment (3 studies, MD \u22122.47; 95%CI: \u22123.41, \u22121.53;\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">P<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009&lt;\u2009.001) and other physical therapy techniques (2 studies, MD \u22121.29; 95%CI: \u22122.54, \u22120.05;\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">P<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u2009.04).
