The purpose of this study is to evaluate the clinical results in pain intensity, neck disability, range of motion, endurance deep cervical muscles, forward head position and kinesiophobia through thoracic spine mobility, deep neck muscles and thoracic strength training and pain education protocol versus a thoracic spine mobility, thoracic strength training and pain education protocol in patients with chronic non-specific neck pain.
Non-specific neck pain for at least the last 12 weeks.
Pain intensity equal to or greater than 4 on the visual analog scale (VAS).
Mild-moderate disability in the Neck Disability Index.
Not reaching phase 2 in Craniocervical flexion test.
Other type of neck pain.
Previous neck surgery.
Diagnosed metabolic diseases.
Red flags (infection, tumors, rheumatic arthritis, or cardiovascular disease).
Parallel
Thoracic exercise program and education
Other interventionThoracic spine mobility, thoracic muscles strength training and pain education through telerehabilitation.
Thoracic and neck specific exercise program and education
Other interventionThoracic spine mobility, deep cervical flexor and extensor muscles strength training, thoracic muscles strength training and pain education through telerehabilitation.
Pain intensity
Measured by Visual Analogue Scale.
Neck Disability
Measured by the Spanish version of Neck Disability Index Questionnaire.
Activation of deep neck flexors muscles.
Measured by Cranio-cervical flexion test
Forward head posture
Measured by craniovertebral angle.
Cervical range of motion
Measured by CROM(Cervical Range-of-Motion Instrument). Cervical flexion, extension, right/left side bending and right/left rotation.
Kinesiophobia
Measured with Spanish version of Tampa Scale
