Clinical Trial Summary

In this study we are investigating whether there is a relationship between the lordosis angle measured on cervical X-RAY images on the severity and level of cervical disc herniation detected by cervical MRI, demographic characteristics and the duration and posture of the person's daily life activities.

Description:

At least 125 patients between the ages of 18-65 who meet the inclusion criteria with cervical cervical X-RAY and cervical MRIs taken in the last 3 months will be included in the study. The demographic characteristics of the patients such as age, gender, BMI, job, education level, marital status, as well as the time they spend on head flexion posture, and their screen time will be questioned. The presence of active trigger points in the cervical muscles will be determined by examination (levator scapula, trapeze, longus colli, splenius capitis). Neck Disability Index will be filled in order to evaluate activities of daily life. Symptom duration and pain level will be evaluated by VAS. Tangent and Cobb angles will be measured on cervical X-RAY images. Presence of effective lordosis will be recorded. In cervical MR, disc herniation level, number, degree (bulging, protrusion, extruded disc) its level will be recorded.
