[ES] Pese al extendido uso de las modalidades físicas en el tratamiento del dolor cervical, el soporte científico que las avala es pobre o inexistente, por lo que se plantea la investigación en este tema. Para ello, se necesitan herramientas de medición de la discapacidad por dolor cervical. En esta tesis, se valida la versión española del "Neck Disability lndex", la escala de discapacidad por cervicalgia más usada del mundo, constatándose su consistencia interna, fiabilidad, validez y sensibilidad al cambio. Una vez validada, se utiliza esta herramienta para medir el efecto de la diatermia con microondas en la cervicalgia crónica inespecífica mediante un ensayo controlado, aleatorizado, doble ciego, resultando que la diatermia con microondas es ineficaz en términos de dolor, discapacidad, calidad de vida relacionada con la salud, satisfacción, recurso a cointervenciones terapéuticas y adherencia a largo plazo al ejercicio.

[EN] Despite the widespread use of physical modalities in the treatment of neck pain, the scientific support that guarantees them is poor or non-existent, so the need to research into this topic arises. For this, disability measurement tools are needed. In this thesis, the Spanish version of "Neck Disability lndex", the scale of disability dueto neck pain most widely used in the world, is validated, and its interna! consistency, reliability, validity and sensitivity to change are hereby established. Once validated, this tool is used, in a randomized and double-blind controlled trial, to measure the effect of diathermy with microwaves in the nonspecific chronic neck pain.The result is that diathermy with microwaves is ineffective in terms of pain, disability, quality of life related to health, satisfaction, use of therapeutics co­ interventions and adherence to long term exercise.
