Cross-sectional study reveals muscle strength deficits in chronic neck pain individuals, suggesting pre-structural changes.

Participants with chronic neck pain exhibited reduced contraction velocity compared to controls.
The study indicated lower peak force in chronic neck pain patients than in asymptomatic individuals.
Muscle thickness differences were non-significant, highlighting functional impairments over structural ones.
Severe disability in CNP was linked to significantly lower contraction ratios compared to mild cases.

Redondo-Orúe et al. (2025) studied this question.
