This short communication article outlined the CPRs on neck pain for use in physical therapy (PT) practice and found two studies on mechanical traction, one study on cervical spine thrust manipulation, two studies on thoracic spine thrust manipulation. Most of the identified CPRs were basically on development, with few or none found on validation or impact analysis of CPR, which threatened the external validity of such CPRs for use in evaluation and treatment of people with neck pain.
