Summary

This study will compare the effectiveness of pain neuroscience education and neck/shoulder traditional exercises versus pain neuroscience education and neck/shoulder suspension training exercises for patients with chronic idiopathic neck pain (CINP).

Conditions

  • Neck Pain

Interventions

OTHER

Pain neuroscience education (PNE) and traditional exercise

PNE will cover the neurophysiology of pain, transition from acute to chronic pain and the nervous system ability to modulate the pain experience. Exercise of the neck and scapular regions, including strength, motor control and stretching exercises. Initially (first 3 sessions) will be delivered individually and then (last 3 sessions)in small groups (4 participants). A total of 6 sessions will be delivered during 6 weeks. Each session will take around 1 hour.
