Study Overview
Brief Summary
Purposes of the study
To investigate the effect of adding Cervical High-Intensity Resistive Exercises to conventional physical therapy in patients with Chronic Non-Specific Neck Pain
Detailed Description
Patients will be randomized into either Cervical High-Intensity Resistive Exercises group or Conventional physical therapy group. Patients will receive the intervention for six weeks. Outcomes will be assessed at baseline and post-intervention.
