Detailed Description

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

Our purpose of planning this study is to examine the acute effect of passive joint mobilization application on pain perception and range of motion in women with non-specific neck pain.

The hypotheses we will test for this purpose;

H1- Passive joint mobilization application increases the range of motion of the cervical joint in women with non-specific neck pain.

H2- Passive joint mobilization application increases the pressure pain threshold in women with non-specific neck pain.

H3- Passive joint mobilization increases serum Orexin A and Neurotensin levels in women with non-specific neck pain.

Allocation Method

NON_RANDOMIZED

Intervention Model

PARALLEL

This study includes two groups. Intervention group including women with non-specific neck pain will applied cervical passive joint mobilization and assessment protocol. Control group including healthy women without pain will applied only assessment protocol.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Intervention Group

24 female participants with non-specific neck pain included in the mobilization group will undergo detailed manual cervical examination. In the evaluation, the most painful segment with dysfunction will be selected and mobilization application and algometric measurements will be performed on this segment. Grade 3 Central Posterior-Anterior (CPA) passive joint mobilization with Maitland method will be applied in 3 sets, 30 seconds, to the segment with the detected dysfunction.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Passive Cervical Joint Mobilization

Intervention Type OTHER

It will be applied to the cervical spine, whose dysfunction is detected as a result of the evaluation. The participant will be in the prone position and Grade 3 Central Posterior-Anterior (CPA) passive joint mobilization with Maitland method will be applied for 3 sets, 30 seconds, to the segment to be treated.

Healthy Control Group

Healthy volunteer participants included in the control group will only be applied an evaluation protocol and blood samples will be taken without any application.

Group Type NO_INTERVENTION

No interventions assigned to this group
