About this trial

The goal of this clinical trial is to find out if a virtual reality-based rehabilitation program developed by our team can help people with chronic neck pain.

The main questions it aims to answer are:

* Does the VR program reduce neck pain? * Does it improve daily function and quality of life?

Participants will:

* Take part in a supervised virtual reality exercise program for 8 weeks, attending 3 sessions per week (24 sessions in total). * Each session will last about 45 minutes. * Complete tests and questionnaires about their pain, disability, and overall well-being before and after the program.
