Abstract:
Nonspecific neck pain occurs without a clear cause and has a variety of causes. We investigated the characteristics and subjective feelings according to the intensity and duration of pain in patients with nonspecific neck pain. A survey was conducted on 43 patients complaining of neck pain according to pain duration and pain intensity. As a result, there was a significant difference between pain intensity and sleep (P<0.05). There was a significant difference between pain duration and sleep, pain duration and emotion (P<0.05). In addition, common feelings such as stiff, heavy, tight, and throbbing were observed according to pain intensity and duration. Therefore, consideration of sleep and emotion is necessary when composing an intervention to improve pain in patients with nonspecific neck pain.
