A Three-Arm Randomized Trial of Aerobic Training Versus High-Intensity Interval Training on Clinical and Functional Outcomes in Patients with Chronic Neck Pain

Key Points

• This research examines the effectiveness of aerobic training and high-intensity interval training on neck pain and functional outcomes.
• Three-arm randomized trial comparing aerobic training, high-intensity interval training, and a control group.
• Participants with chronic neck pain were enrolled based on personal capabilities.
• Clinical evaluations and assessments of functional disability were conducted.
• Both aerobic training and high-intensity interval training showed similar effectiveness in reducing neck pain.
• Functional disability scores improved in both exercise groups.
• Participants reported positive outcomes regardless of the type of exercise performed.
