Detailed Description

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

Neck pain is a disease that affects individuals and society worldwide. Between 50% and 85% of the general population experiences neck pain at some point in their lives, and every person who experiences neck pain is likely to experience pain again after 1-5 years. Neck pain is considered chronic if it lasts more than 3 months. Passive and active physical therapy approaches play a very important role in the treatment of neck pain. With the rapid development of technology, new developments such as virtual reality have begun to be used in the treatment of chronic neck pain.

Virtual reality (VR) is a term describing innovative, real-time, computer-based technologies that play an increasing role for many patient groups in the field of physical medicine and rehabilitation. Virtual reality has been shown to be effective in reducing pain and discomfort in patients with different types of chronic pain. Motivation and interaction are the main practical benefits of virtual reality training, especially in video game-based therapy approaches, unlike traditional rehabilitation. Patients play the therapeutic game over and over again to achieve a better score without getting bored. Feedback, an important component of motor learning, is a prominent feature in virtual environments.

group II

conventional treatment and virtual reality As conventional treatment, patients will receive 20 minutes of hotpack and 20 minutes of TENS, 5 sessions a week for a total of 15 sessions for 3 weeks. Additionally, patients will be given cervical isometric exercises as a home exercise program.

In addition to conventional treatment, virtual reality treatment will allow patients to play games in which they can perform neck movements in all directions for 30 minutes a day, 5 sessions a week for 3 weeks..
