Summary

Chronic neck pain is a common problem among the general population. Patients with chronic neck pain used health care services twice as much as the population on average, mainly due to intense pain intensity. It is well-known that pain intensity depends on the association of pain processing in several levels of central pain processing. Identifying the association between conditioned pain modulation, temporal summation, and somatosensory representation, all represent separate central pain processing, will provide an opportunity to develop treatment strategies.

Conditions

• Chronic Neck Pain
• Musculoskeletal Pain
• Pain Modulation
• Cortical Plasticity
• Conditioned Pain Modulation
• Temporal Summation

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
OTHER	pain related variables assessment	Pressure pain threshold, conditioned pain modulation, temporal summation, and two-point discrimination will be evaluated on the upper trapezius muscle. Average pain intensity will be asked.
