Clinical Trial Summary

The study aims to compare the effectiveness of soft tissue, joint mobilization, and tele-rehabilitation within the scope of Manual Therapy to the exercise program.


Description:

60 subjects with cervical degenerative disease will be included in the study after a voluntary consent form is filled out. Subjects will randomly be divided into 3 groups according to the order. Group 1:Home Exercise Program: After a general education is given to the patients, an exercise program will be taught. Patients will be asked to do home exercises for 30-45 minutes once a day, 5 days a week for 8 weeks, and fill in follow-up charts. In addition, reminder messages will be sent to these patients once a week by the physiotherapist. Group 2: Manual Therapy Group: After a general education is given to the patients, the same exercise program will be taught. Soft tissue and joint mobilizations will be applied to the patients in this group within the scope of Manual Therapy (MT). Mobilizations of the cervical vertebrae, scapula, and thoracic vertebrae will be included. MT will be applied to the patients 2 days a week for 8 weeks. Group 3: Tele-Rehabilitation Group: After general education, treatment will be given in the zoom environment. During the 8 weeks, regularly planned exercises will be done via Zoom for 30-45 minutes 2 days a week, accompanied by a physiotherapist. Patients will apply active cervical and thoracic region mobilizations called self-mobilization. Patients will be taught active mobilization applications with the help of a towel for the cervical region, mobilization of the thoracic region with a foam roller. Patients will apply those self-mobilization at home in front of the physiotherapist in a visual environment. Patients in this group will regularly do the same home exercises on the other days without tele-rehabilitation. Measurement and evaluation will be done four times, as pre-treatment, post-treatment (8th week), first follow-up (12 weeks), second follow-up (6th month).

Outcome

Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Primary Change from Baseline in Pain at 8 weeks, 12 weeks and 6 months Visual Analog Scale will be used where patients will be asked to rate their pain on a scale from 0 to 10 with 0 indicating no pain and 10 the maximum worst pain, at the baseline and the end of 8 weeks intervention, and at the end of 12 weeks, and 6 months from baseline. Baseline, 8 weeks, 12 weeks, 6 months
Primary Change from Baseline in Anxiety at 8 weeks, 12 weeks and 6 months Anxiety Sensitivity Index-3 will be used to evaluate the anxiety sensitivity of individuals effectively and multidimensionally. The scale is rated in a five-point Likert type and consists of a total of 18 items and is rated as 0 = very little, 4 = very much, and the total scale score ranges from 0 to 72. Baseline, 8 weeks, 12 weeks, 6 months
Primary Change from Baseline in Quality of Life at 8 weeks, 12 weeks and 6 months Nottingham Health Profile will be used to assess health-related quality of life. It is a general quality of life questionnaire that measures the individual's perceived health problems and the extent to which these problems affect normal daily activities. The questionnaire consists of 38 items and evaluates six dimensions related to health status: Energy (3 items), pain (8 items), emotional reactions (9 items), sleep (5 items), social isolation (5 items), and physical activity (8 items). matter). Questions are answered with yes or no. Each section is scored between 0-100. 0 indicates best health, 100 indicates worst health. Baseline, 8 weeks, 12 weeks, 6 months
Primary Change from Baseline in Neck Disability at 8 weeks, 12 weeks and 6 months Neck Disability Index, consists of 10 items. Individuals included in the study will be asked to give a score between 0 (no disability) and 5 (complete disability) for each item. The total score varies between 0 (no disability) and 50 (complete disability). Baseline, 8 weeks, 12 weeks, 6 months
