This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This trial is testing whether mental imagery exercises (imagining movements in your mind) or hands-on motor control exercises (practicing specific neck movements) work better for people living with chronic neck pain. Researchers will measure how these single sessions affect your pain level, sensitivity to pressure, and neck awareness.
Chronic neck pain affects many people and limits their daily activities. This study wants to understand whether mental practice alone can be as helpful as physical exercise—or if combining different approaches might work best for reducing pain.

You will attend a single session where you'll try one of two approaches: either guided mental imagery exercises (imagining neck movements) or hands-on motor control exercises (practicing specific neck movements). Before and after the session, researchers will test your pain level, how your neck responds to pressure, and your neck awareness. The whole visit should take a few hours.
