Summary
VR-NECKPAIN is a two-arm, monocentric, single-blind, randomized controlled trial in Neck Pain patients. The entire treatment consist in 12 sessions, each during 45 minutes, twice a week for 6 consecutive weeks. Subjects will be evaluated ad baseline (T0) and after six weeks of rehabilitation (T1). There will also be a 3 months Follow-Up assessment (T2). The total duration of study participation for each subject will be approximately 19 weeks, including evaluation at T0, treatment and evaluation at T1 and T2. Individuals in the experimental group (VRT) will undergo a virtual reality-based sensorimotor rehabilitation. Control group (CT) subjects will undergo the same rehabilitation of VR subjects, in terms of intensity, time and type, but with the virtual reality turned off.
