Brief Summary

Identification of the effects of yoga and motor control exercises on pain intensity, pain sensitivity, function, and pain cognition in individuals with neck pain.

Conditions

Chronic Neck Pain

Keywords

neck pain; exercise; cognition; yoga; motor control; function

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Changes in Functional Disability

  The Neck Disability Index, modified from the Oswestry Low Back Pain Questionnaire and adapted to the cervical region by Vernon et al. in 1991, will be used to assess disability due to neck pain. In the neck disability index, a score of 0-4 is defined as no disability, a score of 5-14 is defined as mild disability, a score of 15-24 is defined as moderate disability, a score of 25-43 is defined as severe disability and a score above 35 is defined as total disability.

  Change from baseline in functional status at 8 weeks

Secondary Outcomes (10)

• Changes in Pain Intensity

  Change from baseline in pain intensity at 8 weeks

• Changes in Pain Sensitivity

  Change from baseline in pain sensitivity at 8 weeks

• Changes in Alexithymia

  Change from baseline in alexithymia at 8 weeks

• Changes in Cognitive Function

  Change from baseline in cognitive function at 8 weeks

• Changes in Pain Catastrophizing

  Change from baseline in pain catastrophizing at 8 weeks]
