Abstract:

Objectives : The purpose of this study was to provide a clinical evidence base for the effectiveness of the muscle energy technique(MET) for cervicalgia.Methods: We conducted a search of 10 electronic databases up to April 2019. Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) that performedthe MET for cervicalgia were included. The risk of bias was assessed using the Cochrane risk of bias (RoB) tool.Results : Six RCTs met the inclusion criteria. The literature review of these studies showed favorable results for the use of the MET incomparison to other manual medicines.Conclusions : In 6 RCTs, we found that the MET was effective in cervicalgia treatment. However, most of the included studies had anunclear risk of bias. Therefore, well-designed RCTs are necessary to obtain a higher evidence level of the MET use in cervicalgia.
