Abstract
Background Chronic neck pain remains one of the most prevalent musculoskeletal disorders worldwide and represents a major contributor to years lived with disability. Beyond nociceptive and biomechanical factors, emerging evidence suggests that chronic neck pain is associated with disturbances in cervical sensorimotor control, including impaired proprioception, altered postural orientation, reduced neuromuscular coordination, and balance deficits. These alterations may perpetuate pain and functional limitation, thereby challenging conventional rehabilitation approaches that primarily target strength and mobility. Objective To critically synthesize contemporary evidence regarding the effectiveness of sensorimotor training on cervical proprioception, pain intensity, and disability in individuals with chronic neck pain. Methods A narrative literature review was conducted using electronic databases including PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, PEDro, and Google Scholar. Literature published between 2010 and 2026 was screened using predefined search terms related to chronic neck pain, proprioception, sensorimotor training, disability, and rehabilitation. Randomized controlled trials, systematic reviews, meta-analyses, and clinically relevant observational studies were included. Key Findings The available evidence indicates that sensorimotor training significantly improves cervical joint position sense, reduces pain intensity, and decreases disability in patients with chronic neck pain. Interventions incorporating proprioceptive retraining, gaze stability exercises, balance training, and deep cervical muscle activation demonstrated superior outcomes compared with conventional exercise alone. However, heterogeneity in training dosage, assessment methods, and outcome measures limits direct comparison across studies. Conclusion Sensorimotor training appears to be an effective adjunctive intervention for chronic neck pain rehabilitation, particularly in addressing proprioceptive deficits and functional disability. Standardization of intervention protocols and long-term follow-up studies are warranted to optimize clinical implementation.
