Evaluating the additive diagnostic value of DidRen LaserTest: Correlating temporal and kinematic predictors and patient-reported outcome measures in acute-subacute non-specific neck pain

Neck pain, a distressing sensory and emotional experience often linked to potential or actual tissue damage in the cervical region (Bogduk, 2011a), exhibits a substantial lifetime prevalence ranging from 22% to 70% (Blanpied et al., 2017; Fejer et al., 2006; Hoy et al., 2010). This condition tends to recur, with about 44% of patients developing chronic symptoms (Blanpied et al., 2017; Borghouts et al., 1998; Gore et al., 1987), thereby presenting significant personal and socioeconomic impacts (Borghouts et al., 1999; Cohen and Hooten, 2017; Ferrari and Russell, 2003).
