Experimental group
Arm Description
Follow the usual treatment and perform the exercises of cervical mobility before a mirror.
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.
Outcomes
Primary Outcome Measures
Intensity of Pain
Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) was used to register the pain. The VAS is a 10-point rating scale.
Secondary Outcome Measures
Head Repositioning Test
The cervical position is reevaluated with a laser pointer.
Cervical movement range (CROM)
Evaluated with cervical goniometer.
Pain points
Algometer
Neck Disability
Neck Disability Index
Health status
Evaluated with questionnaire of Quality of life

5. Study Description
Brief Summary
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.
