Detailed Description

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

A randomized controlled trial was performed at the orthopedic rehabilitation clinic. Ethical Standards in the 1946 Declaration of Helsinki, as revised in 2013, were followed, and the University Ethics Board approved the study (approval number 147). This research did not receive any specific grant from funding agencies in the public, commercial, or not-for-profit sectors. The study was conducted with individuals aged 18-65 who applied to a private clinic, received a doctor's diagnosis, met the inclusion criteria, and voluntarily agreed to participate in the study.

Participants A total of 38 subjects were calculated as the minimum required sample size determined by power analysis, and 38 subjects aged 18 to 65 years with a diagnosis of nonspecific neck pain who met the inclusion criteria and voluntarily agreed to participate were included in the study. Signed consent forms were obtained from the volunteers who agreed to participate in the study by face-to-face interview.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Exercise

Intervention Type OTHER

Individuals were randomly assigned to the REP (Routine Exercise Program) group and the OHP group. The REP group received the traditional exercise protocol and the OHP group received oculomotor exercises and myofascial release techniques in addition to the traditional exercise. The groups were evaluated before the treatment and at the end of the 6-week treatment sessions. Patient education was given to the patients before both programs. Patient education included information about nonspecific chronic neck pain, symptoms, and complications, as well as assessment methods, parameters, tests, and exercises.

The first group, the REP group (n=19), received routine exercises, and the second group, the OHP group (n=19), received oculomotor exercises and myofascial relaxation techniques in addition to the routine exercise program. The treatments were applied for six weeks, three sessions per week, under the supervision and guidance of a physiotherapist in the clinic.
