Brief Summary

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

This study aims to determine whether there is a difference in pressure pain threshold and pinch grip strength in individuals with and without chronic neck pain.

Detailed Description

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

Neck pain is a common musculoskeletal disease. In chronic pain clinics, neck pain ranks second in frequency after low back pain. Lifetime prevalence is higher in workers. 51-80% of workers experience at least one episode of neck and arm pain. Neck pain symptoms may disappear spontaneously within a few weeks, while 30% of them continue as chronic neck pain. Today, studies are planned with the theory that pathology leads to deficiencies, deficiencies lead to functional limitations, and functional limitations lead to disability. Chronic neck pain increases the cost of treatment and reduces work capacity. In addition, neck pain in industrial workplaces causes loss of work days as much as low back pain. The aim of this study is to determine whether there is a difference in pressure pain threshold and pinch grip strength in individuals with and without chronic neck pain. In addition, it is aimed to examine the relationship of these parameters with quality of life.
