Brief summary (from the registry)
Background: The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between cognitive function and pain, functional limitations, and cervical muscle endurance in individuals with chronic neck pain (CNP). Methods: The study included 29 individuals (28F, 1M) aged between 18 and 65 years, with non-specific neck pain lasting for at least 3 months, non-neurological symptoms, and no history of head, neck or upper extremity surgery in the last 6 months. Cognitive functions were assessed using the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MOCA) and Trail Making Test (TMT), pain level using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS) and Bournemouth Neck Pain Questionnaire (BNPQ), functional limitations using the The Profile Fitness Mapping neck questionnaire (ProFitMap-neck) and muscle endurance using cervical flexor, extensor, and deep flexor muscle endurance tests.
