Cranio-cervical flexion similar to cervical proprioception training for chronic neck pain .
Comparison of cranio-cervical flexion training versus cervical proprioception training in patients with chronic neck pain: A randomized controlled clinical trial
J Rehabil Med. 2016 Mar 1;48(1):48-55.28 patients with mild to moderate levels of neck pain and disability were randomized to one of two exercise interventions for two months: (1) cranio-cervical flexion (CCF) training or (2) cervical proprioception training. The purpose of this study was to compare the efficacy of the two treatments in terms of pain, function, pain pressure thresholds, or performance on the cranio-cervical flexion test (CCFT). Results demonstrated that although patients in both study groups experienced significant improvements at all outcomes after two months when compared to baseline and post-first treatment values, there were no differences between groups for the majority of the outcomes.
