Brief Summary

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

Our study aims to investigate the parameters related to pain catastrophizing, fear of movement, neck awareness and upper extremity functionality in individuals with chronic neck pain - a cross-sectional study.

Detailed Description

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

Chronic neck pain (CNP) is a common musculoskeletal problem that persists for more than three months and negatively affects an individual's daily activities. Neck pain is a complex condition that occurs through the interaction of many factors. Age, gender, history of neck pain, other musculoskeletal problems, postural weakness, the presence of repetitive trauma, and the individual's social and psychosocial status can all influence the onset and course of neck pain. In addition, chronic neck pain causes impairments in body awareness, affecting the perception of the cervical region, and this triggers the development of fear of movement (kinesiophobia). Kinesiophobia causes the individual to avoid movement due to pain and can also lead to a decrease in upper extremity functionality. While studies examining these variables separately are common in the literature, to our knowledge, there is no study that includes these parameters together. In this context, our study; It aims to investigate the parameters related to pain catastrophizing, fear of movement, neck awareness and upper extremity functionality in individuals with chronic neck pain - a cross-sectional study.
