About this study
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare the effectiveness of different physical therapy delivery models in treating chronic non-specific neck pain in adults aged 20-40 years with a history of neck pain for three months or longer.
The main questions it aims to answer are:
Read more
- Which approach (tele-rehabilitation, face-to-face exercises, or a mixed model) is most effective at reducing neck pain intensity and functional disability?
- Are there significant differences between the three models in improving cervical range of motion, kinesiophobia (fear of movement), patient satisfaction, and adherence to the exercise program?
Researchers will compare three groups to see if the delivery model affects outcomes:
- A tele-rehabilitation group receiving real-time, video-guided exercise sessions.
- A face-to-face group receiving traditional, in-person supervised exercise sessions.
- A mixed-model group receiving a combination of both tele-rehabilitation and face-to-face sessions.
Participants will:
- Be randomly assigned to one of the three groups.
- Engage in a structured exercise program for 45-60 minutes per session, three times a week for six weeks.
- Follow a phased exercise protocol that begins with mobility and pain reduction, progresses to strengthening, and finishes with endurance and functional training.
- Complete assessments for pain, disability, range of motion, and other outcomes at the beginning and end of the 6-week intervention, with a final follow-up at 3 months.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Functional Disability
The Neck Disability Index is the most widely used and validated instrument for assessing the impact of neck pain on patients' functional activities and disability. The NDI-AR consists of 10 items covering functional domains: pain intensity, personal care, lifting, reading, headaches, concentration, work, driving, sleeping, and recreation. Each item is scored from 0 (no disability) to 5 (complete disability), with a maximum total score of 50.
Measured: • Baseline (Week 0, before intervention begins) • Within 1 week post-treatment (Week 6, immediately after final intervention session) • 3 months post-treatment (Month 3, 12 weeks after completion of intervention)
Neck Pain Intensity
The Visual Analogue scale is a self-reported, unidimensional measure of pain intensity. Participants mark their current pain level on a 10-centimeter line, where 0 represents "no pain" and 10 represents "worst pain imaginable.
Measured: • Baseline (Week 0, before intervention begins) • Within 1 week post-treatment (Week 6, immediately after final intervention session) • 3 months post-treatment (Month 3, 12 weeks after completion of intervention
Range of motion
The CROM device is a non-invasive, objective measurement tool designed specifically for assessing cervical spine mobility. The device measures cervical motion in six planes: flexion, extension, right lateral flexion, left lateral flexion, right rotation, and left rotation. Measurements are recorded in degrees.
Measured: • Baseline (Week 0, before intervention begins) • Within 1 week post-treatment (Week 6, immediately after final intervention session) • 3 months post-treatment (Month 3, 12 weeks after completion of intervention.
Secondary outcomes (3)
Kinesiophobia
The Tampa Scale of Kinesiophobia is a 17-item self-report questionnaire designed to assess the fear of [re]injury associated with physical movement. Respondents rate each item on a 4-point Likert scale ranging from 1 ("strongly disagree") to 4 ("strongly agree"). The total score ranges from 17 to 68, with higher scores indicating greater fear of movement and [re]injury
Measured: • Baseline (Week 0, before intervention begins) • Within 1 week post-treatment (Week 6, immediately after final intervention session) • 3 months post-treatment (Month 3, 12 weeks after completion of intervention)
Patient Satisfaction
The Patient Satisfaction Questionnaire (PSQ-18) is a validated short-form instrument originally developed by the RAND Corporation to measure patient satisfaction with medical care. The PSQ-18 is an 18-item version that retains the essential psychometric qualities of the full-length PSQ-III while providing a practical and comprehensive assessment.
Measured: • Baseline (Week 0, before intervention begins) • Within 1 week post-treatment (Week 6, immediately after final intervention session)
Adherence to Treatment
Adherence to treatment is assessed through systematic attendance tracking and session completion records. An attendance sheet is used to register participant attendance at each session with the date and session number. Adherence is calculated as the percentage of completed sessions relative to the total number of prescribed sessions (18 sessions over 6 weeks).
Measured: • Throughout the 6-week intervention period (Weeks 1-6, continuous tracking at each session) • Final adherence rate calculated within 1 week post-treatment (Week 6, at completion of intervention)

Clinical summary
The research question as the sponsor registered it. This describes what the study plans to test, not what it found.
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare the effectiveness of different physical therapy delivery models in treating chronic non-specific neck pain in adults aged 20-40 years with a history of neck pain for three months or longer.
The main questions it aims to answer are:
- Which approach (tele-rehabilitation, face-to-face exercises, or a mixed model) is most effective at reducing neck pain intensity and functional disability?
- Are there significant differences between the three models in improving cervical range of motion, kinesiophobia (fear of movement), patient satisfaction, and adherence to the exercise program?
Researchers will compare three groups to see if the delivery model affects outcomes:
- A tele-rehabilitation group receiving real-time, video-guided exercise sessions.
- A face-to-face group receiving traditional, in-person supervised exercise sessions.
- A mixed-model group receiving a combination of both tele-rehabilitation and face-to-face sessions.
Participants will:
- Be randomly assigned to one of the three groups.
- Engage in a structured exercise program for 45-60 minutes per session, three times a week for six weeks.
- Follow a phased exercise protocol that begins with mobility and pain reduction, progresses to strengthening, and finishes with endurance and functional training.
- Complete assessments for pain, disability, range of motion, and other outcomes at the beginning and end of the 6-week intervention, with a final follow-up at 3 months.

The record lists 2 sites in Egypt, Saudi Arabia. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
Are results available for this study?
This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
Contact Amr Ahmad Fallatah, Doctoral (00966505536390, aam_fallatah@hotmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Functional Disability (time frame: • Baseline (Week 0, before intervention begins) • Within 1 week post-treatment (Week 6, immediately after final intervention session) • 3 months post-treatment (Month 3, 12 weeks after completion of intervention)).
