简要总结
The aim of the study is to examine the effects of graston and dry cupping techniques applied in addition to the conservative treatment program on neck awareness, grip strength, balance and sleep quality in patients with cervical disc herniation between the ages of 18-65.
详细描述
The research will be carried out on 30 cases diagnosed with cervical disc herniation between the ages of 18-65. The patients will be divided into 2 groups as control and experimental groups by simple randomization method. While the conservative physical therapy program is applied to the control group, the patients in the experimental group will be applied 1 day graston and 1 day dry cup technique in addition to the ones in the experimental group. All patients will be treated for 20 sessions, 5 days / 4 weeks. Fremantle Neck Awareness Questionnaire to assess neck awareness, hand dynamometer to assess grip strength, Berg Balance Scale to assess balance and Jenkins Sleep Scale to assess sleep quality will be used. All tests will be measured at the start of treatment and after 4 weeks of intervention. Pre- and post-intervention data were statistically analyzed and compared.

主要结局
The Fremantle Neck Awareness Questionnaire
时间窗: 6 weeks
It is a 9-question questionnaire that evaluates the way people perceive the communication between their neck and their body, and the way they perceive their body position. Evaluates the perception that differs according to the individual. It is a Likert-type questionnaire (0 = Never/Never feel this way, 1= I rarely feel this way, 2 = Sometimes, or sometimes I feel this way, 3 = I feel this way often, 4 = I feel this way all or most of the time)
Berg Balance Scale
时间窗: 6 weeks
The Berg Balance Scale is a scale developed for the assessment of postural control in adults and is easily used in many areas of rehabilitation. It consists of 14 items in total. Scoring evaluates whether the patient can safely perform a task in a given amount of time. High fall risk and balance disorder between 0-20 points; A score of 21-40 indicates moderate risk of falling and an acceptable balance; A score of 41 and above indicates good balance and minimal risk of falling.
Jenkins Sleep Scale
时间窗: 6 weeks
The Jenkins Sleep Scale is used in clinical studies to evaluate the sleep problems of patients. Patients are asked 4 questions about sleep problems in the last month and are asked to answer them. 0 (hardly), 1 (1-3 days per month), 2 (4-7 days per month), 3 (8-14 days per month), 4 (15-21 days per month), 5 (23-31 days per month)
