About this trial

This is an interventional treatment trial for Chronic Pain focused on measuring observed action, range of motion, mirror neuron

Eligibility Criteria

18 Years - 60 Years (Adult)All SexesDoes not accept healthy volunteers

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Non specific chronic neck pain
  • Diagnosed by medical specialist

Exclusion Criteria:

  • cervical osteoarthritis or polyarthrosis
  • rheumatic disease
  • history of cervical hernia
  • whiplash syndrome
  • surgery on the neck, face or shoulders,
  • systemic disease, medical history of cancer
  • significant trauma that the patient relates to their pain and/or refusal to participate

    Arm Type

    Experimental

    Active Comparator

    Arm Label

    Effective movement

    Ineffective movement

    Arm Description

    This group will see a 1-minute video showing an individual performing a cervical rotation movement to each side, first 10 times towards the right and then 10 times towards the left. The movement will be performed effectively over the entire course of the cervical path, approximately 80º

    This group will see a 1-minute video showing an individual performing a cervical rotation movement ineffectively, without achieving the maximum cervical travel, performing approximately 40º. First, 10 movements towards the right will be performed and then 10 towards the left

    5. Study Description

    Brief Summary
    The aim of the present protocol is to prove if the observed actions (AOb) will improve the cervical range of motion (CROM) in patients with non-specific chronic neck pain (CNP). This study is a parallel-group double blind randomized clinical. Outcome measures were CROM, and pressure pain detection thresholds (PPDT) with a digital algometer. The follow-up will consist of three evaluations: pre- treatment, post-treatment and 10 minutes after second measurement (motor imagery).
