简要总结
Neck pain is one of the most common musculoskeletal pain disorders secondary to low back pain. Medical and non-medical treatments such as physiotherapy are applied in its treatment. Patients with nonspecific neck pain (NBA) can be treated with various interventions such as drug therapy, manual therapy, heat and exercise. Although it is frequently used in clinical practice, there is no evidence that superficial thermotherapy (hot or cold) methods effectively relieve neck pain. Therefore, this study aims to compare the short-term effects of superficial hot or cold applications on pain, range of motion and functional status in patients with NBA.

结局指标
主要结局
The Numerical Rating Scale (NPRS-11)
时间窗: Change from baseline pain score at 3th day
The Numerical Rating Scale (NPRS-11) is an 11-point scale for self-report of pain. It is the most commonly used unidimensional pain scale. The respondent selects a whole number (integers 0-10) that best reflects the intensity (or other quality if requested of his/her pain.0 point is the minimum and 10 point is the maximum. The higher the score, the more severe the pain.
Range of Motion
时间窗: Change from baseline range of motion at 3th day
CROM device will be used. The active range of motion of each individual will be measured and measured in accordance with the manufacturer's procedures
Global Rating of Change scale (Patient Satisfaction)
时间窗: Change from baseline Global Rating of Change scale at 3th day
Patient satisfaction regarding improvement in shoulder function will be evaluated by the Global Rating of Change scale. All participants will be asked to rate their condition after a six-week intervention period compared to baseline by indicating whether they have improved significantly, improved slightly, unchanged, deteriorated slightly, or deteriorated significantly between -3 to +3, with a higher value indicating better condition in this study.
次要结局
- Pressure Pain Threshold(Change from baseline Pressure Pain Threshold at 3th day)
- Neck disability index(Change from baseline disability scale at 3th day)
