Electrotherapy Combined With Neck Exercises for Non-Specific Neck Pain

Objectives: The objective of this study is to compare the effectiveness of telerehabilitation versus a face-to-face program in the therapeutic approach to non-specific neck pain through exercise and analgesic electrotherapy. Methods: Randomized clinical trial on 100 participants with nonspecific neck pain who will be randomized into two groups to receive analgesic electrotherapy combined with a cervical exercise program through telemedicine or face to face. A total of 24 sessions will be applied over 8 weeks. Demographic and clinical data, disability, pain intensity, kinesiophobia, isometric spinal muscle strength, quality of life, and cervical mobility will be collected. Assessments will be performed at the beginning of the study (baseline), at 8 weeks (post-treatment) and 2 months after the end of the intervention (follow-up).

Inclusion Criteria: * Male and female patients between the ages of 30 and 65, with a medical diagnosis of cervical pain of non-specific origin, * Acceptance and signature of informed consent for voluntary participation in the research study. * Not receiving physical therapy. * Chronic cervical pain lasting 3 months or more and not receiving any other type of physiotherapy treatment. Exclusion Criteria: * Patients undergoing rehabilitation treatment for pathologies of cervical origin. * Patients have osteosynthesis material at the cervical level and/or cardiac complications, epilepsy or tumors. * Patients who have undergone radiotherapy in the last 6 months.
