- Other: Proprioceptive Neuromuscular FacilitationOther: Manual therapy application
- Registration Number
- NCT05851703
- Lead Sponsor
- Bahçeşehir University
- Brief Summary
The location of neck pain is usually shown as "pain occurring between the occiput and the third thoracic vertebra". The annual incidence of mechanical neck pain is 12/1000 patients and is one of the most common reasons for visiting physicians. Neck pain usually lasts longer than 3 months and results in a high cost to society
- Detailed Description
Movement in one plane in the cervical spine is due to the contribution of vertebrae from other planes. This complicates the kinematics and injury mechanism of the cervical region. Considering the mechanism of injury, demographic information to be obtained from the person is very important.

Group Intervention Description Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation (PNF) techniques will be applied to the second group. Manual therapy applications: Manual therapy application In lower cervical lateral flexion problems, pushing technique will be applied with instrument support from the articular pillar part of the superior vertebra on the side where the limitation is present
- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Algometer one day It can be used to measure the sensitivity of tissues. The pressure is gradually increased and people must report the feeling of pressure applied. It has been shown that pressure algometry is a highly valid and reliable measurement of cranio-cervical muscles.
Jamar Hand Dynomometer one day The patients were placed in the sitting position with the wrist in 90° flexion and the forearm in the neutral position. Before the measurements, the participants will be informed verbally. Participants will then be asked to squeeze with all their strength for 3 seconds and then release. Participants will rest for 1 minute between measurements
Visual Analogue Scale one day In the measurement of neck pain severity, it was planned to use a standard, proven 10 mm VAS. The severity of pain felt by the patient; It is a scale used to mark 0 = no pain and 10 = the most severe pain, thus determining the patient's pain intensity subjectively.
Pinchmeter one day It will be used to assess finger grip strengths. Measurements will be evaluated on both hands. Before the measurements, the participants will be informed verbally and they will be allowed to experiment. When the participants are ready, they are asked to squeeze the dynamometer with all their strength for 3 seconds and then release it. Participants will rest for 1 minute between measurements.
Neck Disability Index one day The Neck Disability Index (NDI) measures acute and chronic neck pain or disability due to neck injury. It is the most common assessment tool used in the neck. It consists of 10 items. These; intensity of pain, personal care, lifting, reading, headaches, concentration, work, driving, sleep and leisure activities. There are 6 options in each item and the patient will mark one of these options and be evaluated accordingly.
