The aim of this randomized controlled trial is to evaluate and compare the efficacy of Kinesio Taping (KT) and a structured exercise program on pain, disability, balance, and psychosocial well-being in desk-based office workers with chronic neck pain. Background: Prolonged sedentary work, particularly desk jobs exceeding six hours per day, is a significant risk factor for chronic neck pain and postural dysfunction. This study focuses on employees of the Kocaeli Governorate to determine which conservative intervention-active (exercise) or passive/supportive (taping)-provides superior clinical outcomes. Methods: A total of 45 volunteers (minimum 15 per group) aged 25-55, who work at desks for at least six hours a day and suffer from chronic neck pain, will be enrolled. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of three groups for a 4-week intervention period: Kinesio Taping Group: Participants will receive therapeutic taping for the cervical region. Exercise Group: Participants will undergo a structured program focusing on neck stabilization and postural correction. Control Group: Participants will receive no active intervention and will maintain their routine activities. Outcome Measures: Comprehensive assessments will be conducted at baseline and at the end of the 4-week program: Pain \& Disability: Visual Analog Scale (VAS) and Neck Disability Index (NDI). Physical Performance: Balance tests and Deep Neck Flexor Endurance test. Psychosocial Status: Quality of Life (SF-36) and depression levels (Beck Depression Inventory).
