Brief Summary

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

The study consists of a theoretical and practical intervention based on the Back School. This intervention will be carried out over 8 weeks with a frequency of two sessions per week, for a total of 16 sessions of 45 minutes duration. Of all the sessions, 14 had a practical focus (strength and stretching exercises) and the other two had a theoretical focus (self-management techniques and pain neuroscience education).

The clinical practice guidelines highlight the importance of neck pain prevention through exercise an education. There are previous studies of the effects of theoretical and practical programmes based on back school on the lumbar region but not on the cervical region.Therefore, the main aim of this innovative study is to to investigate the effects of a Back School based intervention on the prevention of neck pain and as secondary objectives to investigate the effects on neck flexor and extensor strength as well as scapular stability. The hypothesis is that this BS-based intervention would have positive effects on neck pain prevention, neck strength and scapular stability.
