Work-related Musculoskeletal Disorders can cause neck and shoulder pain in office workers. The research objective was to investigate the efficacy of Ruesi Dadton exercise (RD) and Yoga exercise (YE) compared with Stretching exercise (SE) on reducing neck and shoulder pain in office workers. A single-blind randomized controlled trial was conducted at Thai Traditional Health Promotion Center, Thai Traditional and Alternative Medicine Hospital. A total number of 80 participants, equally divided into three groups: two intervention groups of RD (n=26), YE (n=28), and a control group of stretching exercise (SE) (n=26) who completed the 4-week intervention program. The primary outcomes were pain relief assessed by Visual Analog Scale, Pressure Pain Threshold, muscle flexibility by Cervical Range of Motion. The secondary outcome was World Health Organization's Quality of Life test. ANOVA, paired t-tests and repeated ANOVA were used to analyze the data. The results showed that the comparison of all three groups before and after the exercises revealed a decrease in pain, better tolerance to pain and more flexibility of the neck muscles with statistical significance (p< 0.05). With respect to the quality of World Health Organization's Quality of Life, the comparison of all four domains in all three groups before and after the exercises indicated a statistically significant improvement in quality of life (p< 0.05). However, there were no differences in pain, neck muscle flexibility and quality of life between groups.
与工作相关的肌肉骨骼疾病会导致办公室职员出现颈部和肩部疼痛。本研究的目的是调查鲁西达顿运动（RD）和瑜伽运动（YE）相较于伸展运动（SE）在减轻办公室职员颈部和肩部疼痛方面的疗效。在泰国传统与替代医学医院的泰国传统健康促进中心进行了一项单盲随机对照试验。共有80名参与者，平均分为三组：两组干预组，分别为鲁西达顿运动组（n = 26）、瑜伽运动组（n = 28），以及一个伸展运动对照组（n = 26），所有参与者均完成了为期4周的干预计划。主要结局指标包括通过视觉模拟量表评估的疼痛缓解情况、压力疼痛阈值、通过颈椎活动范围评估的肌肉柔韧性。次要结局指标是世界卫生组织生活质量测试。采用方差分析、配对t检验和重复方差分析对数据进行分析。结果显示，对三组运动前后进行比较发现，疼痛减轻、对疼痛的耐受性增强以及颈部肌肉柔韧性提高，差异具有统计学意义（p < 0.05）。关于世界卫生组织生活质量方面，对三组运动前后四个领域的比较表明，生活质量有统计学意义的改善（p < 0.05）。然而，各组之间在疼痛、颈部肌肉柔韧性和生活质量方面没有差异。
