Chronic neck pain lasting for 3 months, with a VAS score of >= 4, the pain being related to neck movement, accompanied or not by a straightening of cervical curvature. The diagnosis is proposed as cervical degenerative bony changes and ligament calcification. Organic lesions such as cervical fractures, dislocations, tumors, infections and inflammatory spinal diseases are excluded.
