Cervical stabilisation exercises (CSEs), targeting deep cervical muscles and improving postural alignment, have emerged as a promising intervention. This systematic review evaluates the efficacy of CSEs in managing CNP.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Objective<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>To determine the effectiveness of CSEs in alleviating pain, improving function, and enhancing quality of life in individuals with CNP.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A systematic review of the literature was conducted following PRISMA guidelines. Searches were performed across PubMed, Scopus, and the PEDro. Eligible studies included randomised controlled trials (RCTs) published within the past 10\u00a0years. Methodological quality was assessed using the PEDro scale.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Twelve studies met the inclusion criteria, with most rated as moderate to high quality. Findings demonstrated that CSEs significantly reduce pain (as measured by VAS and NRS), improve functional capacity (e.g., Neck Disability Index), and correct postural abnormalities such as forward head posture. Multimodal interventions combining CSEs with manual therapy, thermotherapy, or dynamic exercises yielded superior outcomes compared with CSEs alone. Intervention duration of 6\u20138\u00a0weeks was most effective. Variability in outcomes was attributed to differences in population characteristics and methodological quality.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>CSEs are an effective, evidence\u2010based intervention for managing CNP.
