TI  - The effects of black soybean (Glycine max var.) on chronic cervical pain of 
      sedentary office workers in a northern Chinese population.

AB  - Chronic cervical pain is a common symptom of sedentary office workers. Black 
      soybean (Glycine max var.) has rich necessary nutrients for the therapy of 
      chronic pain. Thus, it may ease chronic cervical pain. To prove our claim, 260 
      sedentary office workers with chronic pain were recruited and they consumed the 
      defined diets at breakfast, lunch, and dinner with 1 g, 5 g and 10 g (3 g, 15 g, 
      30 g daily) cooked black soybean for 24 weeks. Visual analog scale (VAS), neck 
      disability index (NDI) pain scores and short-form 36 (SF-36) health survey 
      questionnaires were applied in the study. The levels of N-methyl-D-aspartate 
      receptors (NMDAR) were measured. The VAS and NDI pain scores reduced and SF-36 
      scores increased in a 15 or 30 g black soybean daily group compared with a 3 g 
      black soybean daily group after a 24-week therapy (P < 0.05). The 30 g black 
      soybean daily group was better than the 15 g black soybean daily group in 
      relieving chronic cervical pain of sedentary office workers (p < 0.05). The 
      levels of NMDAR were lower in the 15 or 30 black soybean daily group than those 
      in the 3 g black soybean daily group (P < 0.05). Black soybean can ameliorate 
      chronic cervical pain by down-regulating the levels of NMDAR.
