Summary

The study consists of a theoretical and practical intervention based on the Back School. This intervention will be carried out over 8 weeks with a frequency of two sessions per week, for a total of 16 sessions of 45 minutes duration. Of all the sessions, 14 had a practical focus (strength and stretching exercises) and the other two had a theoretical focus (self-management techniques and pain neuroscience education). In addition, they had an initial session and a session at the end of the of the intervention in which measurements of the different variables were taken (The Visual Analogue Scale; Neck Disability Index; Tampa Scale Of kinesiophobia).These variables will be measured on two occasions, at the beginning of the study and at the end of the intervention, an average of 2 months. The clinical practice guidelines highlight the importance of neck pain prevention through exercise an education. There are previous studies of the effects of theoretical and practical programmes based on back school on the lumbar region but not on the cervical region. Therefore, the aim of this study is to investigate the effects of a BS-based intervention on neck pain and functionality as well as kinesiophobia and quality of life in adults. The hypothesis previously hypothesised that this BS-based intervention would have positive effects on pain, functionality, kinesiophobia and quality of life.
