Effectiveness of pain neuroscience education, motivational interviewing and cognition targeted exercise therapy in patients with chronic neck pain: protocol for a multicentre randomised controlled trial (the COGMO-AP study).

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

In primary care, the prevalence of neck pain has increased substantially. Evidence regarding treatment of chronic neck pain (CNP) is scarce, and its effectiveness is not entirely proven in different stages of chronicity, nor for different types of cervical disorders. The goal of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of a complex intervention (COGMO intervention) compared with usual practice in primary care physiotherapy to improve neck pain intensity, severity and disability in patients with CNP.

Methods and analysis

Design: a pragmatic cluster-randomised clinical trial design with a 12-month follow-up.

Setting

primary care.

Participants

physiotherapists as randomisation unit, and patients as analysis unit.

Inclusion criteria
