Resumen
[ES] Este estudio aborda la efectividad de un programa combinado de educación en neurociencia del dolor
(PNE) y realidad virtual (RV) para el tratamiento del dolor crónico cervical. Entre el 10% y el 20% de la
población mundial experimentará este tipo de dolor que puede ser debilitante y afectar la calidad de
vida. La RV y la PNE han demostrado beneficios individuales en el manejo del dolor. Este ensayo clínico,
controlado y aleatorizado, incluirá a 99 sujetos de 18 a 65 años con dolor cervical crónico. El grupo de
intervención recibirá dos sesiones grupales de PNE y 12 sesiones de RV con el juego Ocean Rift. Dos
grupos de control recibirán solo PNE o ningún tratamiento respectivamente. Las variables de estudio
incluyen la intensidad del dolor, kinesiofobia, catastrofismo, rango de movimiento, discapacidad y
sensibilización central. Se realizarán mediciones antes, tras PNE, post-intervención total y a los 3, 6 y 12
meses de seguimiento.

Between 10% and 20% of the world's population will experience this type of pain, which can be debilitating and affect quality of life. VR and PNE have shown individual benefits in pain management. The controlled, randomized clinical trial includes 99 subjects aged 18 to 65 with chronic neck pain. The intervention group will receive two group PNE sessions and 12 VR sessions with the Ocean Rift game. Two control groups will receive only PNE or no treatment. Study variables included pain intensity, kinesiophobia, catastrophizing, range of motion, neck disability, and central sensitization. Measurements will be made before, after PNE, post-total intervention and at 3, 6 and 12 months of follow-up.
