The hypothesis is that endurance exercise of the upper trapezius should result in significantly better improvement in terms of neck-shoulder pain, pressure pain threshold and muscle stiffness than stretching exercise.\n\nParticipants with unilateral neck-shoulder pain will either perform low-load endurance exercise or stretching exercise of the upper trapezius muscle of the affected side in a 5-week period. Before and after the 5-week training, outcomes will be assessed by investigators in order to compare the effectiveness of two exercises on pain, pressure pain, muscle stiffness, and muscle endurance. Secondary outcomes include Neck Disability Index (NDI) to assess various aspects of daily living impacted by neck pain, and Disabilities of Shoulder, Arm and Hand (DASH) Questionnaire to evaluate the ability to perform various upper limb activities.\n\nFindings to be obtained from this study will help inform the clinical management in particular for self-care of this chronic neck pain group of participants, by refining the exercise prescription for promoting the clinical outcomes for individuals suffering from neck-shoulder pain.
