Brief summary (from the registry)
The goal of this observational study is to investigate heart rate variability in different positions and in response to isometric hand-grip test in people with non-specific chronic neck pain as compared with healthy controls. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Do the heart rate variability indices differ between people with non-specific chronic neck pain and healthy controls in supine sitting and standing positions? * Do the heart rate variability indices differ between people with non-specific chronic neck pain and healthy controls when challenged by the isometric hand-grip test?
