Brief Summary

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

Telerehabilitation offers more efficient follow-up of patients during their home exercise period as a cost-effective and effective treatment model. This study was planned to examine the effectiveness of telerehabilitation in patients with chronic neck pain. The aim of the study is to compare the video-based and telerehabilitation based home-exercise program in patients with chronic neck pain. It is aimed to evaluate the patients in terms of pain, functionality, quality of life, and exercise adherence.

Detailed Description

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

With telerehabilitation, patients can easily adapt to home exercise programs and be monitored remotely. In this way, it will be ensured that individuals can apply their exercises at an optimum level in non-clinical settings and to prevent exercise application errors that occur due to the learning effect frequently observed in conventional methods. Exercise is considered a central element in physical therapy and rehabilitation management in patients with chronic neck pain. However, studies have found that improvements after physical therapy and rehabilitation are not preserved in the long term, and recurrence of chronic low back pain is common. With a more cost-effective treatment model, "telerehabilitation", it is aimed that patients can be followed more efficiently during their home exercise period. The aim of the study is to compare the video-based and telerehabilitation based home-exercise program in patients with chronic neck pain. It is aimed to evaluate the patients in terms of pain, functionality, quality of life, and exercise adherence.

Study Groups

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

Telerehabilitation (TR) Group

The TR group will be followed up through the video-based exercise software within the 8-week home exercise program.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Telerehabilitation (TR)

Intervention Type OTHER

The home exercise program will be educated to the patient on the first day. Exercises for isometric and isotonic strengthening, stretching, and stabilization of the neck muscles will be given. Exercises will be presented to the patients in audio-video format and detailed instructions with explanations. The exercise protocol will also be the same as in the conventional rehabilitation group. Patients will be asked to do the exercises once a day for 8 weeks and 10 repetitions each.

Conventional Rehabilitation (CR) Group

The CR group will be trained face-to-face with conventional methods before the 8-week home exercise program, and an exercise program will be prescribed with a visual information form.

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Conventional Rehabilitation (CR)

Intervention Type OTHER

The home exercise program will be educated to the patient on the first day. Isometric and isotonic strengthening, stretching and stabilization exercises for the neck muscles will be given. Exercise information form including explanation and picture of the exercises will be given to the patients. Patients will be asked to do the exercises once a day for 8 weeks and 10 repetitions each.
