About this trial

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if adding mindfulness to supervised rehabilitation exercises improves outcomes in office workers with chronic neck pain. It will also evaluate the impact of this combined approach on psychosocial factors and quality of life. The main questions it aims to answer are:

Does mindfulness combined with supervised exercises reduce neck pain intensity more than supervised exercises alone? Does the combined intervention improve neck-related disability, psychosocial outcomes, and quality of life?

Researchers will compare a mindfulness-based intervention plus supervised rehabilitation exercises to supervised rehabilitation exercises alone to determine whether the combined approach provides additional benefit.

Participants will:

Be randomly assigned to receive either mindfulness plus supervised exercises or supervised exercises alone for 8 weeks Attend weekly 60-minute mindfulness sessions (experimental group only) and twice-weekly supervised exercise sessions Undergo assessments at the beginning and at the end of the intervention period
