Brief Summary

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

The goal of this clinical trial is to investigate the effect of using enhanced golgi tendon organ stimulation on symptoms in patients with cervical disc herniation. The main question\[s\] it aims to answer are:

* Enhanced Golgi tendon organ stimulation is effective in reducing symptoms in patients with cervical disc herniation.
* Enhanced golgi tendon organ stimulation is not effective in reducing symptoms in patients with cervical disc herniation.

Participants will receive enhanced golgi tendon organ stimulation to the Sternocleidomastoideus, platysma, longus colli, longus capitis, scalene, rhomboid major \& minor, levator scapulae and trapezius muscles for 3 weeks, 2 sessions per week for 45 minutes.

Detailed Description

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

Participants diagnosed with cervical disc herniation will be included. Participants will receive 6 sessions of 45 minutes each, 2 sessions per week for 3 weeks. Sternocleidomastoideus, platysma, longus colli, longus capitis, scalene muscles, rhomboid major \& minor, levator scapulae and trapezius muscles and tendons of these muscles will be applied.

Two separate applications are performed with the stimulator and the algometer. After increasing the blood flow in the area for 30 seconds with the vibration of the stimulator up to the point of attachment of the tendon, a pressure of 0.5 kilograms is applied at an angle of 90 degrees at 0.5 cm intervals from the origin to the insertion of the muscle in the area with an algometer made of special steel. The aim of this treatment is to stabilise the contraction and relaxation mechanism by stimulating the Golgi tendon organ and to eliminate pain by relieving spasms.

Application of enhanced Golgi tendon organ stimulation to patients

The effect of golgi tendon organ stimulation on the symptoms will be examined after applying the improved golgi tendon organ stimulation to patients diagnosed with cervical disc herniation and having pain, limitation of movement, spasm and tenderness in the neck region.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Enhanced golgi tendon organ stimulation

Intervention Type DEVICE

Enhanced Golgi Tendon Organ Stimulation is a method that can be used by physiotherapists and doctors. The Golgi tendon organ is the proprioceptors located in the tendon adjacent to the myotendinous junction. It is applied using two separate heads, the stimulator and the algometer. The sternocleidomastoideus, platysma, colli longus, capitis longus, scalene, rhomboid major and minor, levator scapulae and trapezius muscles and their tendons will be vibrated with a stimulator for 30 seconds, then 0.5 kilograms of pressure will be applied with an algometer from the origin to the insertion of the muscle in the region at 0.5 centimetre intervals at an angle of 90 degrees.
