Clinical Trial Summary

This study aimed to investigate the effect of adding virtual reality therapy to conventional treatment in patients with chronic neck pain on pain, neck disability index, kinesiophobia, insomnia severity questionnaire, hospital anxiety depression scale, cervical range of motion and pressure pain threshold.


Clinical Trial Description

Neck pain is a disease that affects individuals and society worldwide. Between 50% and 85% of the general population experiences neck pain at some point in their lives, and every person who experiences neck pain is likely to experience pain again after 1-5 years. Neck pain is considered chronic if it lasts more than 3 months. Passive and active physical therapy approaches play a very important role in the treatment of neck pain. With the rapid development of technology, new developments such as virtual reality have begun to be used in the treatment of chronic neck pain. Virtual reality (VR) is a term describing innovative, real-time, computer-based technologies that play an increasing role for many patient groups in the field of physical medicine and rehabilitation. Virtual reality has been shown to be effective in reducing pain and discomfort in patients with different types of chronic pain. Motivation and interaction are the main practical benefits of virtual reality training, especially in video game-based therapy approaches, unlike traditional rehabilitation. Patients play the therapeutic game over and over again to achieve a better score without getting bored. Feedback, an important component of motor learning, is a prominent feature in virtual environments. ;
