Official title: Investigation of the Effectiveness of Mulligan Concept Sustained Natural Apophysial Glides (SNAGs) Technique in Non-Specific Neck Pain Patients: A Randomized Controlled Single Blinded Trial

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

Mechanical neck pain is defined for the absence of cervical spinal pathologies.With the SNAGs mobile mobilization method, it reveals effective results in cases of limitation and pain in the cervical joints.Although there are studies with the Mulligan concept in the literature, studies examining the effects of the SNAGs technique on non-specific neck pain are limited. The aim of this study is to investigate the effectiveness of the Mulligan Concept SNAGs mobilization method applied in addition to the conventional physiotherapy program in individuals with nonspecific neck pain.

Clinical Trial Description

This study was conducted to investigate the effectiveness of Mulligan concept cervical sustained natural apophysial glides (SNAGs) mobilization method in addition to the conventional treatment program in patients with nonspecific neck pain.
