What this trial studies

This observational study focuses on individuals aged 18-65 diagnosed with chronic non-specific neck pain. It aims to explore the connections between body awareness, pain levels, central sensitization, disability, and proprioception. By understanding these relationships, the study seeks to inform rehabilitation strategies for those suffering from chronic neck pain, which often leads to significant disability and reduced quality of life. The research will involve assessments of pain sensitivity and proprioceptive feedback to better understand the impact of chronic pain on body awareness.
