Brief Summary

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

Neck pain is a widespread problem in the general population and is second only to low back pain in musculoskeletal issues.

Detailed Description

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

The aim of this study is to compare the conventional therapy, cervical stabilization exercise approach, and core stabilization exercise in addiction to cervical stabilization in patients with chronic neck pain.

Study Groups

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

Group 1

Conventional training plus isometric neck exercises

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Group 1

Intervention Type OTHER

Physical therapy agents and isometric exercise training will be applied to the patients. These will be administered a combination of transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation, ultrasound, a hot pack, and isometric training 3 times a week for 4 weeks by the physical therapist.

Group 2

Conventional training plus deep cervical flexor exercises

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Group 2

Intervention Type OTHER

Physical therapy agents and deep cervical flexor muscle training will be applied to the patients. These will be administered a combination of transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation, ultrasound, a hot pack, and muscle training 3 times a week for 4 weeks by the physical therapist. Training of the craniocervical flexor muscles is going to be focused on the deep flexor muscles such as longus capitis and longus colli muscles, making neck flexion, not the head.

Group 3

Conventional training plus stabilization exercises of the neck and core region

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Group 3

Intervention Type OTHER

Physical therapy agents and core stabilization training will be applied to the patients. These will be administered a combination of transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation, ultrasound, a hot pack, and stabilization training 3 times a week for 4 weeks by the physical therapist. These exercises will be performed for 10 repetitions with 10 seconds of contraction and 5 seconds of relaxation.
