We thank Drs Bashir and Soteriades for their interest in our article, their critical reading, their insightful comments, and the opportunity to respond to them. They have correctly pointed out that a more rigorous randomization method should be employed in future studies. I agree that allocation concealment could have been achieved by third-party concealment and that covariable adaptive randomization might have been more appropriate. I again agree that the results may also be attributed to Hawthorne effect and socially desirable responding. They rightly listed the possible cofounders and effect modifiers, the baseline imbalance of which we tried to minimize by randomization with allocation concealment. It is, however, deemed to be at high risk of bias by current assessment tool.1,2 The interpretation of a randomized controlled trial must consider such methodological limitations along with other issues, such as the cost and ease of the intervention, and the potential value that individual patients and a population might enjoy from the intervention.3 The simplicity, affordability, and noninvasiveness of Tasuki should also be considered when interpreting the trial.4 I believe researchers need to clarify all major methodological issues in order for readers to appropriately understand the added value and the limitation of the article. I appreciate this letter to the editor for helping us further understand possible, more rigorous alternatives. Future studies with more rigorous methods will be desired.

作者回复“成人颈部疼痛的随机临床试验”

我们感谢 Bashir 博士和 Soteriades 博士对我们的文章、批判性阅读、富有洞察力的评论以及回复他们的机会的兴趣。他们正确地指出,在未来的研究中应该采用更严格的随机化方法。我同意分配隐藏可以通过第三方隐藏来实现,并且协变量自适应随机化可能更合适。我再次同意结果也可能归因于霍桑效应和社会期望的反应。他们正确地列出了可能的联合创始人和效应修饰符,我们试图通过随机化和分配隐藏来最小化其基线不平衡。然而,目前的评估工具认为它具有很高的偏倚风险。 1,2 随机对照试验的解释必须考虑这种方法学限制以及其他问题,例如干预的成本和难易程度,以及个体患者和人群可能从干预中获得的潜在价值。3 简单性、可负担性、在解释试验时也应考虑 Tasuki 的无创性。4 我认为研究人员需要澄清所有主要的方法学问题,以便读者适当地理解文章的附加价值和局限性。我感谢这封给编辑的信,它帮助我们进一步了解可能的、更严格的替代方案。未来的研究将需要更严格的方法。以及个体患者和人群可能从干预中获得的潜在价值。3 在解释试验时还应考虑 Tasuki 的简单性、可负担性和无创性。4 我认为研究人员需要澄清所有主要的方法学问题,以便读者正确理解文章的附加价值和局限性。我感谢这封给编辑的信,它帮助我们进一步了解可能的、更严格的替代方案。未来的研究将需要更严格的方法。以及个体患者和人群可能从干预中获得的潜在价值。3 在解释试验时还应考虑 Tasuki 的简单性、可负担性和无创性。4 我认为研究人员需要澄清所有主要的方法学问题,以便读者正确理解文章的附加价值和局限性。我感谢这封给编辑的信,它帮助我们进一步了解可能的、更严格的替代方案。未来的研究将需要更严格的方法。4 我认为研究人员需要澄清所有主要的方法论问题,以便读者适当地理解文章的附加价值和局限性。我感谢这封给编辑的信,它帮助我们进一步了解可能的、更严格的替代方案。未来的研究将需要更严格的方法。4 我认为研究人员需要澄清所有主要的方法论问题,以便读者适当地理解文章的附加价值和局限性。我感谢这封给编辑的信,它帮助我们进一步了解可能的、更严格的替代方案。未来的研究将需要更严格的方法。
