Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
The secondary aim was to examine the relationships between pain intensity, frequency, duration, pain self-efficacy, physical condition, anxiety and depression, mental fatigue and awareness levels in people with chronic neck pain.

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Individuals experiencing neck pain
Study Group Inclusion Criteria:
* Having chronic neck pain for at least 3 months.
* Being between 18 and 65 years of age.
* Scoring 5 and above on the Neck Disability Questionnaire.
* Scoring 24 and above on the Mini Mental Status Examination.
* Being able to read and write.
* Being willing to participate in the study.
Study Group Exclusion Criteria:
* Participation in any physical therapy program in the last 3 months.
* Having the following problems:
* Radiculopathy, myleopathy (motor and sensory loss) and other neurologic diseases.
* Inflammatory diseases
* History of malignancy.
* Congenital spinal cord anomaly and congenital spinal deformities
* Spinal pathologies, traumatic medulla spinalis injury and other medulla spinalis pathologies.
* Vestibular disorders.
* Diagnosed psychiatric disorders such as bipolar disorder and panic attacks.
* Vision problems that do not improve despite vision aids.
* Pregnancy
Mental Fatigue:
The Mental Fatigue Scale (MFS) will be used to assess mental fatigue.
Body Awareness:
Individuals' general body awareness will be assessed with the Body Awareness Questionnaire (BAQ).
Neck awareness of individuals will be assessed with the Fremantle Neck Awareness Questionnaire (FreBFA).
Short Form of the Five Facet Mindfulness Questionnaire (FFMQ - Short Form) will be used to assess people's mindfulness.
\- In-body awareness:
For the sense of interoception, the Multidimensional Assessment of Interoceptive Awareness Scale, which assesses interoceptive body awareness, will be used.
To evaluate proprioception, a Cervical Range of Motion (CROM) device is used.
The bucket test will be used to assess subjective visual verticality, which is one of the sub-dimensions of verticality perception.
Two scales will be used to assess people's awareness of weight transfer symmetry.
\- Out of Body Awareness:
"Right-Left Confusion Hand Test" will be used to evaluate the mental rotation skill within the scope of the sense of extroception.
Neck Disability Level
Neck disability index will be used to assess this parameter.
Quality Of Life
SF-12 will be used to assess quality of life.
Pain Assessment:
Pain intensity will be assessed by Visual Analog Scale (VAS). In addition, pain duration and pain frequency will be questioned. The Pain Self-Efficacy Questionnaire will be used to assess the confidence of people with chronic pain to perform certain tasks and behaviors despite their pain.
Physical Condition:
Normal range of motion of the cervical region will be evaluated with the "Cervical Range of Motion" device.
New York Posture Rating Scale will be used to evaluate posture.
Symmetry of weight transfer to both lower extremities of the individuals in standing upright position will be evaluated.
Anxiety and Depression:
Beck Depression and Beck Anxiety scales will be used to assess depression and anxiety.
Healthy individuals without neck pain
Control Group Inclusion Criteria:
* Age between 18 and 65 years.
* Scoring 24 and above on the Mini Mental State Examination.
* To be able to read and write.
* Volunteering to participate in the study.
Control Group Exclusion Criteria:
* Having chronic pain in the spine, especially in the neck.
* Exclusion criteria for the study group
