Efficacy of a proprioceptive exercise program in patients with nonspecific neck pain. A randomized controlled trial.

CONCLUSIONS: A program based on cervical proprioception exercises improves pain, disability, pressure pain threshold, range of motion and head repositioning accuracy in patients with nonspecific neck pain. However, a program based on cervical mobility exercises only improves pain intensity and disability, while such improvement is not clinically relevant.
CLINICAL REHABILITATION IMPACT: The proprioceptive exercise program may be considered as the treatment of choice in patients with nonspecific neck pain.
