Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of modified pilates exercises on neck pain, deep neck flexor muscles edurance, joint position sense and functionality in patients with chronic neck pain.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

50 individuals with Chronic Neck Pain not working will be included to our study. We will evaluate pain (with visual analog scale), deep neck flexors' endurance (with cranio-cervical flexure test using the pressure stabilizing feedback device), cervical range of motion and cervical proprioception (wit cervical range of motion device). Besides we will conduct a questionnaire (neck disability index) to get further knowledge about their functionality. Participants will be randomly allocated 2 groups consisting of 25 participants and these 2 groups will receive different interventions. Modified Pilates Exercise Group (MPEG) will be involved in a modified pilates exercise training for a total of 6 weeks a day, 2 days a week in the presence of a physiotherapist. The Control Group (KG) will receive daily routine advises to prevent neck pain and they will be asked about to apply these advises and not to make other changes in their life. The evaluations will be repeated and analyzed 2 times, pre-treatment and 6 weeks after treatment , and the effectiveness of the modified pilates exercises will be examined in the chronic neck pain. Our hypothesis is ''Modified pilates exercises have a positive effect on neck pain, range of motion, deep neck flexor muscles, joint position sense and function in patients with chronic neck pain.''
