Brief Summary

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

The study consists of an intervention of 16 therapeutic exercise sessions during 8 weeks with a frequency of two sessions per week. All sessions had a practical focus (strength and stretching exercises) with the help of elastic bands. In addition, they had an initial session and another at the end of the intervention in which measurements of the different variables (cervical pain, cervical flexor strength, cervical extensor strength and strength of the scapular stabilising musculature) were taken on two occasions, at the beginning of the study and at the end of the intervention, an average of 2 months.

Nonspecific neck pain has a higher incidence in women than in men. Female sex is a risk factor for this pathology. Clinical practice guidelines highlight the importance of preventing neck pain through exercise. There are previous studies on the effects of strength programmes on patients with non-specific neck pain, but none have used elastic bands as an implement, despite the fact that it is one of the most commonly used implements in physiotherapy clinics. Therefore, the aim of this study is to investigate the effects of an elastic band therapeutic exercise intervention in women with non-specific neck pain. It was previously hypothesised that this intervention would have positive effects on pain and strength in the cervical and scapular region.
