简要总结
This is a randomized, parallel, double-blind clinical trial. The main objective is to compare the efficacy of multimodal exercise with specific neurodynamic exercises and multimodal exercise with non-specific exercises in disability and neck pain in women older than 65 years.
The intervention in both groups will be carried out for 4 weeks, with three weekly sessions. Two evaluations will be carried out, a pre-intervention evaluation and a post-intervention evaluation. We will assess neck pain, disability, upper limb strength, cervical mobility, cervical pressure pain thresholds, kinesiophobia and catastrophism.

结局指标
主要结局
Neck disability
时间窗: four weeks
The Neck Disability Index (NDI) will be used. It is a modification of the Oswestry Low Back Pain Disability Index. It is a scale used to measure disability associated with cervical pain due to acute or chronic conditions. He has 10 items: 7 related to activities of daily living, 2 related to pain and 1 related to concentration. The test can be interpreted with a maximum score of 50.
Pain intensity
时间窗: four weeks.
Numerical Pain Rating Scale (NPRS) will be used. It is a scale used to quantify the patient's pain level on an 11-point numerical scale 0-10 with 0 being "no pain" and 10 being the "worst possible pain."
次要结局
- Pressure pain threshold(four weeks)
- Kinesiophobia(four weeks)
- Cervical range of motion(four weeks)
- Hand grip strength(four weeks)
