Introduction: Neck pain is among the most common and costly for industrialized societies. It is difficult to know the exact structure causing the pain so most are considered as non-specific neck pain. There is a correlation between the alteration of craneocervical proprioception and neck pain. The evidence for treatment with proprioceptive exercises is very limited.
Objective: To know the efficacy of a proprioceptive exercise program for neck pain and to compare its effects with a cervical mobility program.
Materials and Methods: Subjects between 18-65 years old with non-traumatic neck pain are included. They will be randomized into two groups of exercises: proprioception or mobility, which will be developed over a period of two weeks, every day, with a total of 10 sessions per patient.
