What is Posteroanterior Joint Mobilization for Cervical Somatic Dysfunction about?
The intervention was physical therapy for the cervical spine and included manual mobilizations (similar to osteopathic myofascial release), exercise therapy, and home exercises.

All patients received the intervention for 6 weeks (12 sessions). Scores on the TFI and NBQ were taken at baseline, after 6 weeks for the delayed-start group, after the intervention for both groups, and after a 6-week follow-up. A global perceived effect scale was used to measure patients' self-assessment at the abovementioned points except at baseline. After the intervention, results on the TFI (P=.04) and NBQ (P=.001) significantly decreased for all patients. Scores on the NBQ remained significantly lower at follow-up (P=.001). Immediately after the intervention, 53% of patients reported clinically relevant improvement in their tinnitus on the global perceived effect scale, but this percentage fell to 24% at the 12-week follow-up. No difference was found in TFI between immediate-start and delayed-start groups. This art
