Brief Summary

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

The aim of our study is to compare the efficiency of Mulligan mobilization technique and cervical stabilization training in patients with chronic neck pain. The results obtained from the study will contribute to the planning of the treatment of patients with chronic neck pain more effectively.

Detailed Description

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

The aim of our study is to compare the efficiency of Mulligan mobilization technique and cervical stabilization training in patients with chronic neck pain. The results obtained from the study will contribute to the planning of the treatment of patients with chronic neck pain more effectively.

The hypotheses we will test for this purpose; H1. Home exercise program will improve positively after treatment in patients with chronic neck pain compared to before treatment.

H2. Mulligan mobilization will improve positively after treatment in patients with chronic neck pain compared to before treatment.

H3. Cervical stabilization training will improve positively after treatment in patients with chronic neck pain compared to before treatment.

H4. Mulligan mobilization will provide more effective results in patients with chronic neck pain compared to other applications.

Study Groups

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

Home exercise

The exercise program will include active normal joint movements in the cervical region, postural exercises, strengthening exercises for the scapular retractor muscles, and stretching exercises for the pectoral muscles, levator scapula and upper part of the trapezius and breathing/relaxation exercises.

Group Type OTHER

Home exercise

Intervention Type OTHER

Exercise program will include active normal joint movements in the cervical region, postural exercises, strengthening exercises for the scapular retractor muscles, and stretching exercises for the pectoral muscles, levator scapula and upper part of the trapezius and breathing/relaxation exercises.

Mulligan mobilization

Mulligan mobilization will be applied to this group in addition to the exercises in the home exercise group. In painless directions, each session will be applied in 3 sets, a set of 10 repetitions. Sixty seconds of rest will be given between sets.

Group Type OTHER

Mulligan mobilization

Intervention Type OTHER

Mulligan mobilization: Mulligan mobilization will be applied to this group in addition to the exercises in the home exercise group. In painless directions, each session will be applied in 3 sets, a set of 10 repetitions.Sixty seconds of rest will be given between sets.

Cervical stabilization

In addition to the exercises in the home exercise group, this group will be given cervical stabilization training that focuses on the deep neck muscles.
