Brief Summary

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

Chronic neck pain is one of the musculoskeletal pain problems that can cause chronic disability. It is emphasised that individuals with chronic neck pain have difficulty during different activities in their daily lives, and that this problem is a very common health problem that can lead to disability. In the case of chronic neck pain, changes in the pain threshold cause central sensitisation and individuals become more sensitive to pain stimuli. This situation can affect the processing of proprioceptive information and lead to deterioration in proprioceptive perception. This situation leads to perceptual problems in body and neck awareness. Therefore, examining the relationship between the relevant parameters is important in the rehabilitation process. In this context, the aim of the study is to examine the relationship between body awareness and pain, central sensitisation, disability and proprioception in patients with chronic non-specific neck pain.

Detailed Description

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

Chronic neck pain is a common pain problem related to the musculoskeletal system and can lead to permanent (chronic) disability over time. In approximately 50-85% of individuals with neck pain, complaints do not completely improve despite treatment, causing the pain to become chronic. Individuals with chronic neck pain have difficulty performing various activities in their daily lives, and this negatively affects their quality of life. Proprioceptive feedback in the neck region, that is, sensory information that allows the body to perceive its position in space, is very important for proper control of head and neck movements. However, chronic pain can lead to a condition called central sensitization. In this case, the individual's pain threshold decreases and they become more sensitive to stimuli that would normally not cause pain. This increased sensitivity can make it difficult for the brain to process proprioceptive information correctly, which can lead to impairments in body and neck awareness. Therefore, investigating the relationship between body awareness and pain level, central sensitization, disability status and proprioception in individuals with chronic non-specific neck pain is of great importance in terms of developing an effective rehabilitation program.
