Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Chronic neck pain group

Pain was unilateral or bilateral between the superior nuchal line and 1st thoracic vertebra; Neck pain persisting for 3 months and above; Average pain intensity of last pain episode was between 2 and 8 based on the numerical rating scale (NRS).

No interventions assigned to this group

Healthy adults group

Do not have any complaints of current pain and impairments of neuromusculoskeletal systems within the last 6 months.

No interventions assigned to this group

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

1. For patients with chronic neck pain:

* Pain was unilateral or bilateral between the superior nuchal line and 1st thoracic vertebra,
* Neck pain persisting for 3 months and above,
* Average pain intensity of last pain episode was between 2 and 8 based on the numerical rating scale (NRS)
2. Healthy asymptomatic adults:

* Do not have any complaints of current pain and impairments of neuromusculoskeletal systems within the last 6 months

Exclusion Criteria

* acute or the first onset of neck pain
* previous fracture or surgery of the spine
* diagnosed cardiopulmonary diseases, for example, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, pulmonary tuberculosis, asthma, chronic bronchitis, pulmonary emphysema
* diagnosed gastrointestinal and abdominal conditions which may interfere daily activities within the past 6 months
* medical conditions that may affect balance and study procedures (e.g. neurological diseases, vestibular disorders, malignant tumors)
* metabolic diseases such as anemia and diabetes
* smoking, plan to pregnant or in pregnancy
* psychological disorders (affect questionnaire responses)
* unable to walk independently
* Corrected visual abnormalities or individuals unable to wear contact lenses for vision correction due to the potential interference of wearing VR head-mounted display with glasses
