Eligibility

Age

18 Years to 59 Years

Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: Individuals aged between 18 and 59 years; presence of neck pain regardless of symptom duration; both sexes; preserved cognitive function; agreement to participate in the study by signing the Informed Consent Form

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: History of trauma and/or surgery in the cervical region; neurological disorders; cancer; neuromuscular diseases; receipt of continuous physiotherapy treatment within the last three months; attendance lower than 75% of the proposed sessions, with attendance monitored at each session and participants not meeting this minimum considered as loss to follow-up and excluded from the analysis

Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
It is expected to observe a reduction in cervical disability and pain intensity, assessed using the Neck Disability Index and the Visual Analog Scale, considering a clinically significant reduction of at least 5 points on the Neck Disability Index and 2 points on the Visual Analog Scale between pre- and post-intervention measurements.	—

Secondary

Measure	Time frame
It is expected to observe improvements in cervical range of motion, pressure pain threshold, fear-avoidance, and self-efficacy, assessed using cervical goniometry, pressure algometry, the Fear-Avoidance Beliefs Questionnaire, and the Pain Self-Efficacy Questionnaire, considering a minimum increase of 10% in cervical range of motion, an increase in pressure pain threshold values, and clinically significant improvements in questionnaire scores between pre- and post-intervention measurements.	—
