Neck Strengthening in Non-Specific Chronic Neck Pain

This study aims to investigate the effects of exercise interventions on neck muscle morphometry and composition in individuals with chronic non specific neck pain. The participants will be randomly assigned to either a moderate intensity or a high intensity neck strengthening program. The primary outcomes include neck disability. Secondary outcomes include changes in muscle volume and fat infiltration in the neck muscles measured using MRI, pain intensity, anxiety, and depression. The results of this study will contribute the future rehabilitation strategies.
