Comparing Telerehabilitation and In-Clinic Rehabilitation With Pain Neuroscience Education for Adults 18 to 40 With Chronic Non-Specific Neck Pain

What this Trial Is About

Chronic non-specific neck pain is a widespread musculoskeletal condition characterized by ongoing neck pain lasting more than three months without a clear underlying cause. This trial compares two rehabilitation methods combining pain neuroscience education with either telerehabilitation or supervised clinic-based physiotherapy to assess their effects on pain intensity, functional disability, and fear of movement in adults aged 18 to 40. Participants will undergo a structured rehabilitation program focusing on therapeutic exercises for the neck and shoulder muscles combined with standardized pain neuroscience education. One group will receive this program remotely via online platforms three times a week for six weeks, while the other group will attend supervised physiotherapy sessions in a clinic with the same frequency and duration. During the study, participants will be assessed for pain levels, neck disability, and kinesiophobia using specific scales after six weeks of intervention. Researchers will monitor participant progress through these evaluations to compare the effectiveness of remote versus in-person rehabilitation combined with pain education. The total participation period includes the six-week treatment phase with outcome measures taken at the end.
