Brief summary (from the registry)
Objective: To investigate the immediate and long-term effects of cervical lordosis restoration and anterior head translation (AHT) correction, on pain, disability, autonomic nervous system function and cervical sensorimotor control in Athletes with Chronic nonspecific neck pain. Methods: 110 (51 female) chronic nonspecific neck patients with a defined hypolordotic cervical spine and AHT posture will be randomly assigned to the control or an experimental group. Both groups will receive a multi-modal program; additionally, the experimental group will receive the denneroll™ cervical traction. Interventions will be applied 3 x per week for 10 weeks. Outcome measures will include absolute rotatory angle (ARA), AHT, neck disability index (NDI), pain intensity, smooth pursuit neck torsion test (SPENT), overall stability index , left and right rotation repositioning accuracy , amplitude and latency of skin sympathetic response . Measures will be assessed at three time intervals: baseline, after 10 weeks of intervention, and at 1-year follow up.
