An international social network to prevent and reduce headache, neck and shoulder pain
This initiative follows two studies of more than 2,300 local government employees, where with the same program we obtained a reduction of almost 40 per cent of headaches, shoulder and neck pain, and pain killer usage. For a better evaluation of the efficacy of the project, please have a look at the two graphs of the results obtained from the study conducted with employees of the City of Turin. These results were published in a major international journal in 2006. The first graph shows the frequency of headache (days per month with headache in the first eight months) of the group of subjects who started the program in May 2005 (pink line) compared with the second group (blu line) that started six months later in October 2005.
You may observe a progressive and significant improvement that, except in August when the majority of the subjects were on vacation, did not occur in the second group. A similar improvement was also observed for the neck pain.
Moreover, in April 2006, the second group improved significantly after having performed our program while in the first group the results stayed stable or even improved further. |
