简要总结
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn about the effects of two different physiotherapy methods on non-specific neck pain in working age individuals. The main questions it aims to answer are:
- What is the effect of self stretching exercise on non-specific neck pain, functional disability, range of motion of the cervical spine and hand muscle strength in working age individuals?
- What is the effect of post-isometric relaxation exercise on non-specific neck pain, functional disability, range of motion of the cervical spine and hand muscle strength in working age individuals?
- Is any of the applied interventions (self-stretching or post-isometric relaxation exercise) superior to each other?
Participants will:
- be evaluated by an experienced physiotherapist who will perform the interview and physical examination. Interview includes questions about the age, sex, work profile, pain intensity and duration, and other complaints. Physiotherapy examination includes a range of motion measurement, hand grip muscle strength and functional disability index evaluation.
- Two different interventions will be prescribed to the randomly assigned study participants: post-isometric relaxation and self-stretching. Duration of interventions for both groups is 4 weeks (3 times per week, 12 sessions). Duration of one session - 45 min.

结局指标
主要结局
Pain intensity
时间窗: Change from Baseline Quality of Life at 4 weeks
Neck pain intensity was assessed using a visual analogue scale (VAS) on a 10-cm line with end-point descriptors such as 'no pain' marked at the left end and 'worst pain imaginable' marked at the right end. Patients were asked to mark a point on the line that best represented their pain at the time of the evaluation. The distance from 'no pain' to the patient's mark was then measured and recorded as the VAS score: 0 cm was defined as no pain, 1-3 cm as mild pain, 4 or 5 cm as moderate pain, 6-8 cm as severe pain and 9 or 10 cm as the worst pain imaginable.
次要结局
- Hand grip strength(Change from Baseline Quality of Life at 4 weeks)
- Cervical spine range of motion(Change from Baseline Quality of Life at 4 weeks)
- The Neck Disability Index(Change from Baseline Quality of Life at 4 weeks)
