简要总结
The aim of the study was to investigate the relationship between upper extremity exercise capacity and muscle oxygenation, muscle strength, and activities of daily living in patients with chronic neck pain.
详细描述
Neck pain is an important public health problem that causes disability worldwide Chronic neck pain is defined as the presence of pain in an individual's neck area for more than twelve weeks. Chronic neck pain negatively affects the daily living activities of the individual; functional limitation causes job loss.
Neck pain has been observed to be associated with the trapezius muscle and impaired microcirculation in the trapezius muscle and inadequate muscle blood flow and oxygenation.
In addition, neck pain has been stated to reduce upper extremity performance. However, most of the results regarding the relationship between muscle activity and pain are not consistent. In addition, there are studies showing that respiratory muscles as well as peripheral muscles are affected in these patients. In the light of all this information, it was concluded that there may be a relationship between upper extremity exercise capacity and the oxygen level of the trapezius muscle and activities of daily living in patients with chronic neck pain. In this context, the aim of the study was to investigate the relationship between upper extremity exercise capacity and muscle oxygenation, muscle strength and activities of daily living in patients with chronic neck pain.

结局指标
主要结局
Evaluation of Trapezius Muscle Oxygen Saturation
时间窗: Day 1
Patients' trapezius muscle oxygen saturation will be measured using a near infrared spectroscopy (Moxy® monitor (Moxy, Fortiori Design LLC, Minnesota, USA)).
Evaluation of upper extremity capacity
时间窗: Day 1
Patients' upper extremity functional exercise capacity will be evaluated with six-minute pegboard and ring test.
