Introduction: Northwick Park neck pain Questionnaire developed to assess the level of disabilities due to neck pain, concentrating on self-reported subjective feelings and reductions in daily neck pain. However, its use is limited in non-English speaking countries. For this reason, translation, cross-cultural adaptation, validity and reliability for other languages are needed. Objective: To determine whether the NPQ is a valid and reliable tool in a population in Egypt. Methods: Trans-cultural adaptation of NPQ in Egyptian context was performed according to the international guidelines. Then, 100 patients with non specific neck pain filled the NPQ and a previously validated NDI .50 females and 50 males with age ranges from 18-50 years. After that, internal consistency and test re-test reliability were measured by the Cronbachs Ü and intraclass correlation coefficients (ICC), Concurrent validity against Arabic version of Neck Disability Index (NDI), and construct validity by factorial analysis
