Immidate Effect of Instrument Assited Soft Tissue Mobilization Technique on Chronic Neck Pain

Not Applicable

Completed

• Conditions: Neck Pain
• Interventions: Other: Sham; Other: Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization

• Registration Number: NCT04882397
• Lead Sponsor: KTO Karatay University

Brief Summary

Chronic neck pain causes errors in joint position. There are studies in the literature suggesting that the application of instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization improves the sense of joint position. There are no studies that acutely examine this practice on joint position sense and pain in the cervical region. As a result of our study, we will investigate the effects of instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization in a single session on perception of pain and joint position.
