Brief summary (from the registry)
This study will verify whether the cranio-cervical flexion coordination (motor control) and muscle strength training protocol is more effective in improving muscle than the proprioception and muscle strength protocol in patients with chronic neck pain. Hypothesis: The craniocervical flexion (motor control) and muscle strength training protocol will improve muscle function more than the proprioception and muscle strength protocol in patients with chronic cervical pain. Objective: To find out if applying the strength therapeutic exercise protocol and the craniocervical flexion coordination (motor control) training is more effective than the strength and articular repositioning protocol when carrying out the craniocervical flexion test in patients with chronic cervical pain.
