PurposeChronic neck pain (CNP), defined as pain localized to the cervical spine region persisting for more than three months, represents a major global health problem with a steadily increasing prevalence worldwide. This randomized controlled trial aimed to investigate the effectiveness of adding jaw exercises to cervical stabilization exercises on pain, sensorimotor function, and functional outcomes in individuals with CNP.Patients and MethodsA total of 62 individuals aged 18–65 years with cervical spine pain lasting longer than three months and a pain intensity of ≥3 cm on the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) were included. Participants were randomly allocated to the Rocabado group (RG, n=31) or the control group (CG, n=31). The CG performed cervical stabilization exercises (CSE), while the RG performed Rocabado exercises in addition to CSE for 6 weeks. Pain intensity (VAS), pressure pain threshold and …
