Neck pain is one of the most common musculoskeletal disorders, having an age-standardised prevalence rate of 27.0 per 1000 population in 2019. This literature review describes the global epidemiology and trends associated with neck pain, before exploring the psychological and biological risk factors associated with the initiation and progression of neck pain.
The PubMed database and Google Scholar search engine were searched up to May 21, 2021. Studies were included that used human subjects and evaluated the effects of biological or psychological factors on the occurrence or progression of neck pain, or reported its epidemiology.
Psychological risk factors, such as long-term stress, lack of social support, anxiety, and depression are important risk factors for neck pain. In terms of the biological risks, neck pain might occur as a consequence of certain diseases, such as neuromusculoskeletal disorders or autoimmune diseases. There is also evidence that demographic characteristics, such as age and sex, can influence the prevalence and development of neck pain, although further research is needed.
The findings of the present study provide a comprehensive and informative overview that should be useful for the prevention, diagnosis, and management of neck pain.
颈部疼痛是最常见的肌肉骨骼疾病之一，2019 年其年龄标准化患病率为每 1000 人中有 27.0 人。本文献综述描述了颈部疼痛的全球流行病学和趋势，然后探讨了与颈部疼痛的发生和发展相关的心理和生物风险因素。
截至 2021 年 5 月 21 日，在 PubMed 数据库和 Google Scholar 搜索引擎上进行了检索。纳入了使用人类受试者并评估生物或心理因素对颈部疼痛发生或进展影响的研究，或报告其流行病学的研究。
心理风险因素，如长期压力、缺乏社会支持、焦虑和抑郁，是颈部疼痛的重要危险因素。就生物风险而言，颈部疼痛可能是某些疾病的结果，如神经肌肉骨骼疾病或自身免疫性疾病。还有证据表明，人口统计学特征，如年龄和性别，可能会影响颈部疼痛的患病率和发展，尽管还需要进一步的研究。
本研究的结果提供了全面而有信息量的概述，对于颈部疼痛的预防、诊断和管理应该是有用的。
