Summary

This completed study looked at how kinesiophobia—fear of movement or re-injury—affects pain, disability, and quality of life in 57 adults with chronic neck pain. Participants completed surveys about their pain, fear levels, and daily function. The goal was to understand if this fear makes neck pain worse, which could lead to better treatment strategies.

What this could lead to
If successful, this research could help doctors design better treatments for chronic neck pain by addressing fear of movement.
What could go wrong
This is a small, completed observational study, not a treatment trial. Results may not apply to everyone with neck pain.
