Brief summary: This study sets out to investigate the potential effect of auditory disturbances on human movement

Detailed description: Clinicians routinely investigate/test human movement but if/how this is effect by auditory disturbances is unclear. This study sets out to investigate the impact of auditory disturbances on head movements.

Eligibility criteria: Control group:

Inclusion Criteria (Control):

* Able to speak, read and understand Danish/English

Exclusion Criteria (Control):

* Pain from the neck or shoulder area during the past 6 months
* Experience of delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS) during the week leading up to the test session
* Former surgery in neck or shoulder
* Current or previous chronic or recurrent pain condition that could affect the results
* Pregnancy
* Drug addiction defined as the use of cannabis, opioids or other drugs
* Previous neurologic, musculoskeletal or mental illnesses that could affect the results
* Regular use of analgesics
* Abnormally disrupted sleep in the last 24 hours preceding the experiment
* Lack of ability to cooperate

Neck pain group:

Inclusion Criteria (Neck Pain):

* Idiopathic neck pain
* Able to speak, read and understand Danish/English
* Reduced/painful active range of motion of the head and/or painful reaction to palpation of the neck at the time of inclusion

Exclusion Criteria (Neck Pain):

* Experience of DOMS during the week leading up to the test session
* Former surgery in neck or shoulder
* Pregnancy
* Drug addiction defined as the use of cannabis, opioids or other drugs
* Previous neurologic, musculoskeletal (other than neck pain) or mental illnesses that could affect the results
* Abnormally disrupted sleep in the 24 hours preceding the experiment
* Lack of ability to cooperate
