About this trial

This is an interventional treatment trial for Chronic Neck Pain focused on measuring Chronic Neck Pain, Disability, Pain

Eligibility Criteria

18 Years - 44 Years (Adult)All SexesDoes not accept healthy volunteers

Inclusion Criteria: having a diagnosis of chronic neck pain, To have given at least 3 values to the pain with the Numerical Pain Scale having bilateral muscle spasms in the cervical region Exclusion Criteria: those who are taking any analgesic medication, those with acute injury or infection, those with open wounds, osteoporosis, fracture, hematoma, those with acute cardiac, liver and kidney problems, those with connective tissue disease, rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, cancer, those with circulation problems, those with peripheral vascular disease, epilepsy, history of surgery in the cervical region

Myofascial Release

Control

Arm Description

EYYDM will be applied to the upper trapezius and sternocleideomastoid muscles of the participants for 90 seconds, with a frequency of 60 beats per minute. The instruments will be applied to the soft tissue at 30º-60º angles with multidirectional strokes ("stroking") movements.

Basic movements will be used in the rectus capitis, sternocleidomastoideus, hyoid region and upper trapezius regions within the scope of myofascial release application. The application will take 3 minutes for each region.

It will include 250W infrared application on the cervical region from 50cm away for 15 minutes and TENS application for 20 minutes at 80Hz frequency with 150ms current transit time, home exercise program.

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Change from Baseline Cervical Pain assessed by Numeric Pain Scale.
Pain will be evaluated with a 10-point Likert Numerical Pain Scale. 0 means no pain, 10 means unbearable pain.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Change from Baseline Cervical Disability assessed by Neck Disability Index
Cervical Disability will be evaluated with Neck Disability Index

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
The aim of this study is to determine whether EYYDM and myofascial applications have short and long-term effects on pain and disability in individuals diagnosed with chronic neck pain.
Detailed Description
Participants will be randomly assigned to IASTM, myofascial release and control groups. In addition to conventional treatment, IASTM and myofascial release groups will be treated twice a week for 4 weeks. Conventional treatment will be applied to the control group for 4 weeks.
