Brief summary (from the registry)
This randomized controlled trial aims to compare the effectiveness of a cervical exercise program, transcutaneous neuromodulation of the spinal accessory nerve, and a placebo intervention on pain intensity, pressure pain threshold, cervical proprioception, functional disability, depression, anxiety, and stress in university students with chronic non-specific neck pain. The study will include a six-week intervention period with pre- and post-treatment assessments. The findings may contribute to the development of accessible physiotherapy interventions within university settings.
