Overview
Brief Summary
Exercise training that is one of the effective treatment methods for cervical pain, is crucial in developing mobility and stability. Exercise training significantly reduces cervical pain as it advances postural alignment and neuromuscular coordination. In many single group studies on cervical pain in violin performers, it has been reported that the stabilization exercises have favorable consequences on pain relief and postural correction. But, there are no studies comparing ney and violin performers and analyzing the effectiveness of exercise training on non-specific cervical pain. The aim of this study is to search the effects of selected exercise training on pain, disability, range of motion, flexibility, strength and quality of life in ney and violin performers with non-specific cervical pain.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Functional Status
Time Frame: 8 weeks
The Northwick Park Neck Pain Questionnaire (NPQ) was used to specify functional status. NPQ was developed to designate the level of disability in neck pain; It is a 9-item scale including neck pain severity, neck pain and sleep, numbness and tingling in the arms at night, duration of symptoms and complaints, weight-bearing, reading and watching television, work and housework, social activities, and driving. It evaluates the severity, symptoms, duration of neck pain and disability in the activities specified in each item. Each of them consists of 5 items and is scored between 0-4 points. Neck pain total score consists of 36 points. If the patients are not driving, the total score is calculated over 32 points.
Pain intensity
Time Frame: 8 weeks
Visual Analog Scale (VAS) was used to measure the severity of pain. In this scale, "0" indicates no pain, "10" indicates the highest value for perceived pain. Participants were asked to illustrate the intensity of the pain they felt on a material with a horizontal line of 10 cm and was recorded as VAS score.
Life Quality
Time Frame: 8 weeks
Quality of life was evaluated with the SF-36 scale. The scale consists of 8 sub-parameters with a total of 36 items. These sub-parameters are listed as; physical function, physical role limitation, pain, general health, energy (vitality), social function, emotional role limitation and mental health.
Secondary Outcomes
- Muscle Strength(8 weeks)
- Grip Strength(8 weeks)
- Range of Motion(8 weeks)
- Spinal Mobility(8 weeks)
