简要总结
This study aimed to evaluate the effect of postural stabilization exercises given in addition to cervical stabilization on craniovertebral angle, neck disability index, and quality of life in people with chronic neck pain.Sixty women with chronic neck pain between the ages of 20-60 were included in the study and the individuals were randomly divided into two groups. Individuals in the first group underwent cervical stabilization (CS) exercises and additional scapular and lumbopelvic stabilization (SLPS) exercises three times a week for 6 weeks. The second group was treated with only CS exercises for the same period. In addition, stretching exercises and a 20-minute hot pack were applied to the muscles around the neck of all patients. Craniovertebral angle (CVA) was measured by photogrammetry. Disability level was measured by the Neck Disability Index (NDI). The Turkish version of the Short Form-36 (SF-36) was used to assess quality of life.

结局指标
主要结局
Craniovertebral Angle Measurement
时间窗: 6 weeks
The craniovertebral angle (CVA) is formed by the intersection of a horizontal line passing through the seventh cervical vertebra in the sagittal plane and a line going to the tragus of the ear
Health Related Quality of Life
时间窗: 6 weeks
The Turkish version of the Short Form-36 (SF-36) is used to assess health-related quality of life. Short Form-36 (SF-36) is a self-assessment scale and analyses 8 dimensions of health
Neck Disability Index
时间窗: 6 weeks
The Neck Disability Index was used to assess the disability of people with chronic neck pain during daily activities
