Brief Summary

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

People with neck pain often experience pain, neck disability, and poor quality of life. Postural-based awareness programs are evidence-based interventions for postural problems and neck pain disorders. This study aims to determine the effectiveness of a telehealth physiotherapist-delivered postural awareness program combined with exercise in people with neck pain. Pain, neck disability, leisure time management, and exercise stage of change were evaluated.

Detailed Description

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

Pain with visual analog scale, neck disability with Neck Disability Index, Leisure time management with Leisure Time Management Scale, and exercise stage of change with exercise Stage of change Scale were determined. The authors aim to find out if there are any changes before and after the program on the pain, neck disability, and evaluation subscale of the leisure time management scale, and exercise stage of change of participants.
