Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
1. Before a series of electrotherapy treatments.
2. 7 to 10 days after the end of electrotherapy.
3. 3 months after the end of electrotherapy. The study will use
1. a self-authored survey taking into account: basic personal data (age, gender, value and BMI, lifestyle and degree of load on the cervical spine), information on the nature, intensity and frequency of the presence of pain in the spine cervical system, taking into account possible adverse reactions
2. a questionnaire for subcjective assessment of the state of the spine Neck Disability Index,
3. measuring the tone of the vertebral muscles in the cervical (myotonometer),
4. a visual analog scale used to assess the severity of symptoms (Visual Analog Scale -VAS) Intervention;
<!-- -->
1. irradiation of the neck area with a sollux lamp with a blue filter
2. individual exercises conducted according to the prepared author's mobility improvement program
3. electrotherapy treatments:
* Trabert currents
* TENS currents (conventional)
* TENS currents (pseudo-acupuncture)

Review of clinical trials assessing the effectiveness of exercise therapy and electrotherapy.
In the study included adults with chronic neck pain (lasting \> 12 weeks) that compared TENS alone or in combination with other treatments versus active or inactive treatments. The primary outcomes were pain, disability and adverse events.
The objective of this study will be to evaluate the clinical effects of adding high- and low-frequency transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) in a program of specific therapeutic exercises for the treatment of patients with chronic neck pain.
