Clinical Trial Summary

Participants between the ages of 18-64 who were diagnosed with cervical myofascial pain syndrome will be included in the study. cervical sagittal parameters, numerical pain rating scale, Bournemouth neck questionnaire and cervical range of motion will be measured and evaluated.

Description:

It is an observational, cross-sectional study. Participants between the ages of 18-64 who were diagnosed with cervical myofascial pain syndrome, who applied to the Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Clinic of Kanuni Sultan Süleyman Training and Research Hospital with neck pain for more than 3 months will be included. The pain level of the participants will be evaluated with the numerical pain rating scale, the cervical range of motion and the disability level with the Bournemouth neck questionnaire. C0-2 cervical lordosis angle, C2-C7 cervical lordosis angle, cervical sagittal vertical axis (cSVA), T1 slop, T1 slop - cervical lordosis angle (TS-CL), cervical tilt, thoracic inlet angle (TIA) and Cranial tilt measurement will be performed by using Surgimap software program. The relationship between the level of pain and disability, and cervical sagittal parameters will be evaluated.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	NRS (Numerical rating scale)	The Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) is the simplest and most commonly used numeric scale in which the child rates the pain from 0 (no pain) to 10 (worst pain)	1 day
Primary	cervical range of motion (degree)	cervical flexion, extension, lateral flexion and rotation angles are actively evaluated.	1 day
Primary	Bournemouth Neck Questionnaire	Adapted from the Bournemouth Low Back Pain questionnaire developed by Bolton and Humphreys in 2002. The Bournemouth Neck Pain Questionnaire consists of 7 questions in total. Each question scores between 0 and 10. Although the highest score is 70, a high score indicates a high level of disability.	1 day
Primary	cervical sagittal parameters	Parameters to be checked in cervical lateral radiograph; C0-2 and C2-7 lordosis, T1 slope, c2-7 sagittal vertical axis, TS-CL, servical tilt and cranial tilt.	1 day
