Type | Measure | Description | Time frame | Safety issue |
---|---|---|---|---|
Primary | Visual Analogue Scale | Pain level of the patients will be determined by "Visual Analogue Scale". | Measurements will be made before treatment, at the 1st week after treatment and at the 3rd month after treatment. Then change of the level of pain will be investigated. | |
Secondary | Mood of the patients | Mood of the patients will be determined by using "Beck Depression Scale". | Measurements will be made before treatment, at the 1st week after treatment and at the 3rd month after treatment. Then change of the level of the mood of patients will be investigated. | |
Secondary | Pressure pain threshold | Pressure pain threshold will be measured in patients using algometer. | Measurements will be made before treatment, at the 1st week after treatment and at the 3rd month after treatment. Then change of the level of pain pressure threshold will be investigated. | |
Secondary | Anxiety level of the patients | Anxiety level of the patients will be determined by using "Beck Anxiety Scale" | Measurements will be made before treatment, at the 1st week after treatment and at the 3rd month after treatment. Then change of the level of the anxiety will be investigated. | |
Secondary | Quality of life of the patients | Anxiety level of the patients will be determined by using "Short Form-36 Quality of Life. Scale" | Measurements will be made before treatment, at the 1st week after treatment and at the 3rd month after treatment. Then change of the quality of life will be investigated. | |
Secondary | Kinesiophobia of the patients | Anxiety level of the patients will be determined by using "Tampa Kinesiophobia Scale". | Measurements will be made before treatment, at the 1st week after treatment and at the 3rd month after treatment. Then change of the level of kinesiophobia will be investigated. | |
Secondary | Disability level of the patients | Disability level of the patients will be determined by using "Neck Disability Questionnaire". | Measurements will be made before treatment, at the 1st week after treatment and at the 3rd month after treatment. Then change of the level of disablity will be investigated. | |
Secondary | Global Assesment of the patients | Global Assesment of the patients will be determined by using "Global Assessment Scale". | The Global Assessment Scale will be used to evaluate patients at the 1st and 12th weeks after treatment. |
