简要总结
It has been reported that excessive use of smartphones increases the stress on the cervical spine, and changes in cervical curvature and pain in the muscles around the neck are associated with the increase in stress. Studies have reported that smartphone users with addictions have neck pain (68%), upper back pain (62%), right shoulder pain (52%), left shoulder pain (46%), and right hand pain (46%). As a result of our study, the frequency of smartphone addiction and temporomandibular joint dysfunction and related factors in individuals with nonspecific neck pain were examined and the results we obtained will contribute to the literature.

结局指标
主要结局
Cranio- Cervical Flexion Test
时间窗: Day 1
An inflatable pressure unit (StabilizerTM, Chattanooga Group, Inc., Hixson, TN) will be used during testing.
Evaluation of cervical mobility
时间窗: Day 1
Cervical region flexion, extension, lateral flexion and rotation movements will be evaluated with Baseline Bubble Inclinometer.
Evaluation of Pressure Pain Threshold
时间窗: Day 1
Pressure pain threshold assessment will be performed with an algometer, which is an objective assessment method.Measurements will be made from three different regions: anterior temporal muscle body, masseter muscle body and TMJ (lateral to the mandibular condyle).
Smartphone Addiction Scale Short Form
时间窗: Day 1
Each item is scored between 1-6. The high score informs about the severity of smartphone addiction. Those who have a total score above 29.50 are considered as smartphone addiction.
Functional evaluation of the temporomandibular joint
时间窗: Day 1
The Helkimo Clinic Craniomandibular Index will be used in the evaluation of TMJ (5). This index consists of 5 subsections: pain on muscle palpation, pain on TMJ palpation, pain on mandible functions, TMJ functions (sound, gliding at maximum opening, luxation and/or locking) and mandible movement capacity.
次要结局
- Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index(Day 1)
