简要总结
Introduction: Neck pain is among the most common and costly for industrialized societies. It is difficult to know the exact structure causing the pain so most are considered as non-specific neck pain. There is a correlation between the alteration of craneocervical proprioception and neck pain. The evidence for treatment with proprioceptive exercises is very limited.
Objective: To know the efficacy of a proprioceptive exercise program for neck pain and to compare its effects with a cervical mobility program.
Materials and Methods: Subjects between 18-65 years old with non-traumatic neck pain are included. They will be randomized into two groups of exercises: proprioception or mobility, which will be developed over a period of two weeks, every day, with a total of 10 sessions per patient.

研究组 & 干预措施
Control group
Follow the usual treatment and perform the exercises of cervical mobility before a mirror.
干预措施: Mobility exercises (Other)
Experimental group
The same procedure is followed by substituting proprioceptive exercises for craniocervical sensorimotor control with a laser instrument located on the patient's head and a target.
干预措施: Proprioception exercises (Other)

Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) was used to register the pain. The VAS is a 10-point rating scale.
次要结局
- Pain points(four weeks)
- Head Repositioning Test(four weeks)
- Cervical movement range (CROM)(four weeks)
- Neck Disability(four weeks)
- Health status(four weeks)
