Effects of neck coordination exercise on sensorimotor function in chronic neck pain: A randomized controlled trial
J Rehabil Med. 2014 Sep 30;46(9):908-14One hundred and eight female patients suffering from chronic, non-specific neck pain were randomly assigned to neck coordination exercises, strength training for the neck and shoulders or massage therapy.
