Sensory manifestations in experimental and work‐related chronic neck‐shoulder pain

Little is known about the mechanisms leading to chronic neck‐shoulder musculo‐skeletal disorders. The aim of the present study was to investigate and compare the sensory manifestations of experimental or chronic neck‐shoulder pain under controlled, low load, repetitive work.
