Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The primary purpose of this study is to investigate if there is altered motor control of head and neck in chronic neck pain patients compared with healthy persons. In addition, associations between neck pain, motor control, disability and function, and clinical symptoms will be studied in patients following physiotherapy treatment in primary health care.
