Summary

Chronic neck pain has a high prevalence in developed countries, being one of the main causes of years lived with disability and deterioration of the quality of life. Telerehabilitation is presented as a resource capable of favoring, with its development and implementation, the transition to a universal and quality health service. The main objective of the study is to assess the change in disability produced by a telerehabilitation program (applied in the intervention group) in patients with chronic and nonspecific neck pain compared to the recommendation of home exercises (control group). The study that will be carried out will be a controlled and randomized clinical trial (ECCA), single-blind, longitudinal and prospective with two groups (intervention group and control group). The main study variables that are intended to be analyzed pre and post intervention are disability, quality of life, pain, adherence, and depression and anxiety. The study will take place between June 2020 and May 2021 in specialized physiotherapy clinics.

Conditions

• Chronic Non-specific Neck Pain

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
OTHER	MANUAL THERAPY	The investigators will apply manual therapy for ten minutes a week, for 8 weeks, based on cervical mobilizations and suboccipital inhibitions.
OTHER	THERAPEUTIC EXERCISE	The exercises recommendations will be based on a simulation of the exercises in the same session of the manual therapy of each week, helped by the physiotherapist. The access to telerehabilitation will be through a web page, through which patients could see explanatory videos of the exercises as many times as they need.
