Brief Summary

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

The aim of this study is to determine whether EYYDM and myofascial applications have short and long-term effects on pain and disability in individuals diagnosed with chronic neck pain.

Detailed Description

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

Participants will be randomly assigned to IASTM, myofascial release and control groups. In addition to conventional treatment, IASTM and myofascial release groups will be treated twice a week for 4 weeks. Conventional treatment will be applied to the control group for 4 weeks.

Study Groups

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

IASTM

EYYDM will be applied to the upper trapezius and sternocleideomastoid muscles of the participants for 90 seconds, with a frequency of 60 beats per minute. The instruments will be applied to the soft tissue at 30º-60º angles with multidirectional strokes ("stroking") movements.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

IASTM

Intervention Type OTHER

IASTM will be applied to the upper trapezius and sternocleidomastoid muscles of the participants for 90 seconds, with a frequency of 60 beats per minute.

Myofascial Release

Basic movements will be used in the rectus capitis, sternocleidomastoideus, hyoid region and upper trapezius regions within the scope of myofascial release application. The application will take 3 minutes for each region.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Myofascial Release

Intervention Type OTHER

Basic movements will be performed for 3 minutes in the rectus capitis, sternocleidomastoideus, hyoid region and upper trapezius regions.

Control

It will include 250W infrared application on the cervical region from 50cm away for 15 minutes and TENS application for 20 minutes at 80Hz frequency with 150ms current transit time, home exercise program.
