Brief Summary

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

The overall objective of this study is to determine the efficacy of a physical therapy intervention based on manual therapy, therapeutic exercise and application of electrotherapy in healthcare workers with non-specific neck pain.

Detailed Description

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

The subjects included in the sample will be evaluated according to the aforementioned parameters by researchers trained and assigned for this purpose.

The data collection of the different variables will be performed before and after the completion of the program designed for the study. The physiotherapy intervention for the experimental group will have a duration of 10 sessions, twice a week.

Exercise Therapeutic

Intervention Type OTHER

The exercise therapeutic program consisting of neck movement control and stretching exercise. Ten sessions.

Control Group

The control group will not undergo any physiotherapy treatment therapy for neck pain.

Group Type NO_INTERVENTION
