Strength Clinical Trial
Official title:
Investigation of the Effect of Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization Technique and Foam Roller Application on Strength, Flexibility, Pain and Secondary Outcome Measures in Individuals With Chronic Non-Specific Neck Pain.
Neck pain is in fourth place among the pathologies that result in the state of disability. Acute neck pain improves greatly within 2 months, while neck pain that persists for more than 3 months takes the form of chronic neck pain. Pain adversely affects people's activities of daily living. Treatment applications such as electrotherapy, hot and cold applications are applied for purposes such as reducing pain and muscle spasm and correcting functions. In addition to such treatment options, instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization (IASTM) and foam roller therapy have been started to be applied in many disease groups in recent years and have attracted great attention. iASTM and Foam Roller is a technique that involves the use of tools in disorders of musculoskeletal pathology and to help heal soft tissues. The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of foam roller technique with instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization technique in individuals of different ages with chronic non-specific neck pain. According to the data obtained, the techniques the investigators will use, together with physiotherapy programs, contribute to the treatment of individuals with chronic non-specific neck pain and to the literature.is expected to provide.

Secondary | Functional Status Assessment Questionnaire | Neck Disability Index (NDI) will be used to evaluate the functional status of patients. The NDI consists of 10 titles: pain severity, self-care, lifting, reading, headache, concentration, working, driving, sleeping and recreation. Individuals included in the study are asked to give points between 0 (no disability) and 5 (complete disability) to each title. The total score ranges from 0 (no disability) to 50 (complete disability). | Pre-treatment assessment. | |

Secondary | Quality of Life Assessment Questionnaire | The Nottingham Health Profile (NHP) will be used to assess patients' quality of life. The Nottingham health profile is a scale used to assess patients' levels of emotional, social and physical activity. The questions are divided into 6 subgroups as energy level (3 questions), pain (8 questions), emotional reaction (9 questions), sleep (5 questions), social isolation (5 questions) and physical activity limitation (8 questions). A total of 38 questions in 6 groups have separate point values, and each item is answered "yes" or "no". A scoring system has been established so that each subgroup will have a total of 100 points. | Pre-treatment assessment. | |
