Overview
Brief Summary
Within the scope of this research, a single session of Wearable Technological Device (Exopulse Molli-Suit) will be applied to patients with chronic back and neck pain. The results will be evaluated acutely, after 24 hours, after 1 week and after 1 month.
Detailed Description
After initial evaluations, patients received a single session for 1 hour. Exopulse Mollii Suit will be applied. The stimulation level of the electrodes will be determined by the automatically by the system in accordance with the level of pain they indicate for their parts, individually tailored to the person. will be created. Patients will wear the Exopulse Mollii Suit, which is suitable for their body size, Hacettepe University Physics They will dress in the room allocated for them at the Faculty of Treatment and Rehabilitation. After each use The hygiene of Exopulse Mollii Suits has been evaluated at Hacettepe University Faculty of Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation in this will be provided with the help of a special device included in the scope. Initial assessments will be made immediately will be repeated three more times: after the intervention, 24 hours after the intervention and 4 weeks after the intervention. All data will be collected face-to-face from patients using the instruments mentioned above.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Pain Severity
Time Frame: bBefore the intervention, immediately after the intervention, after 24 hours, after 1 week and up to 1 month after the intervention. 5 times
Numeric Pain Scale will be used. On a 10 cm horizontal straight line (0: no pain, 10: most severe pain), the patient will be asked to mark the relevant place according to the severity of the pain. Using a ruler, the distance between point 0 and the marked place will be measured to determine the intensity of the pain.
Secondary Outcomes
- back performance test(Before the intervention, after 24 hours, after 1 week and up to 1 month after the intervention. 4 times)
- Disability Level(Before the intervention, after 24 hours, after 1 week and up to 1 month after the intervention. 4 times)
- Sustained Overhead Work Test(Before the intervention, after 24 hours, after 1 week and up to 1 month after the intervention. 4 times)
- Sleep Qaulity(Before the intervention, after 24 hours, after 1 week and up to 1 month after the intervention. 4 times)
- Body Composition Analysis(before intervention, 1 times)
- Lifting object overhead test(Before the intervention, after 24 hours, after 1 week and up to 1 month after the intervention. 4 times)
- Repetitive Reach Test(Before the intervention, after 24 hours, after 1 week and up to 1 month after the intervention. 4 times)
