Brief Summary

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

Neck pain is a complex biopsychosocial disorder often precipitated or aggravated by neck movements or sustained neck postures. More than 80 % of individuals experience neck pain and neck associated disorders. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of a 4-week active exercising program in patients with chronic neck pain.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

While neck pain can be severely disabling and costly, treatment options have shown moderate evidence of effectiveness. The optimal physiotherapy intervention is currently unclear. Consequently, more research in this area combining different techniques in patients with a specific clinical profile is needed. It has been previously shown that participants prefer self-care measures for the management of neck pain. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of a 4-week active exercising program in patients with chronic neck pain.
