Overview
Brief Summary
The objective of this study is to evaluate the impact of visual feedback of the posterior region of the cervical spine on pain intensity and range of motion.
Detailed Description
60 patients with chronic idiopathic neck pain will be randomly assigned into one of two groups: a group receiving visual feedback when performing 10 repetitions of each of neck movements (flexion, extension, side-flexion and rotation) and a group performing the same task without visual feedback. Participants will be assessed for pain intensity, pain location, disability, range of motion, kinesiophobia, catastrophizing and anxiety both at baseline and after visual the intervention (i.e., neck movements with and without visual feedback).

Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria
- •To have idiopathic neck pain defined as neck pain unrelated to any known pathology or lesion felt at least once a week in the last 3 months, located between the nuchal line and a horizontal line passing through T1 and pain intensity of at least 3 in the visual analogue scale.
Exclusion Criteria
- •History of cervical or facial trauma, radiculopathy, history of surgery in the vertebral segment in question, congenital anomalies involving the spine (cervical, thoracic and lumbar spine) or any neurological or rheumatic pathology, and, finally, evidence of significant visual changes, or of deficits not corrected by lenses or glasses.
