Clinical implications and future research
pain
The results of this study suggest that both observing neck exercises and natural landscapes may be used in clinical practice to reduce pain, potentially facilitating the administration of exercise and complementing pain education. Participants’ perceptions of the intervention were not assessed, but a few participants reported feeling relaxed after watching the natural landscape video and a decrease in the muscle tension in the neck region after the AO. These variables can be assessed in future studies. Future studies should investigate the effects of administering AO for longer periods and different dosages.
