Brief Summary

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

The aim of the present protocol is to prove if the observed actions (AOb) will improve the cervical range of motion (CROM) in patients with non-specific chronic neck pain (CNP). This study is a parallel-group double blind randomized clinical. Outcome measures were CROM, and pressure pain detection thresholds (PPDT) with a digital algometer. The follow-up will consist of three evaluations: pre- treatment, post-treatment and 10 minutes after second measurement (motor imagery).

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Effective movement

This group will see a 1-minute video showing an individual performing a cervical rotation movement to each side, first 10 times towards the right and then 10 times towards the left. The movement will be performed effectively over the entire course of the cervical path, approximately 80º

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Actions observed

Intervention Type OTHER

Patients observed movements without realize them. After this actions, movements will be imagined by patients

Ineffective movement

This group will see a 1-minute video showing an individual performing a cervical rotation movement ineffectively, without achieving the maximum cervical travel, performing approximately 40º. First, 10 movements towards the right will be performed and then 10 towards the left
