Neck Pain Clinical Trial
Official title:
Comparison of the Effects of Proprioception and Tactile Accuracy Training on Proprioception, Range of Motion, Pain and Disability in Patients With Chronic Neck Pain
It is known that tactile acuity and proprioceptive sense decrease in patients with chronic neck pain. However, sensory re-training in patients with chronic neck pain has not been given sufficient importance. The effects of proprioceptive and tactile acuity training on pain intensity in patients with chronic neck pain will be compared in this study. Eligible participants will be divided into three groups as follows: Proprioceptive Training Group (PTG), Tactile Acuity Training Group (TAG), and Control Group (CG). The randomization will be performed using the block randomization method to obtain an equal number of participants in the groups. Each participant will be evaluated two times at a 4-week interval. Participants will be evaluated regarding subjective pain intensity by using a Numerical Rating Scale, temporal summation, and conditioned pain modulation using an algometer (JTECH Medical-Algometer Commander, USA). Neck proprioception exercises will be applied to the patients in the PTG at 3 days a week for 4 weeks. Tactile acuity training will be applied to the patients in the TAG 3 days a week for 4 weeks. Between the two assessments, the Control Group will not receive any treatment.

---|---|---|---|---|
Primary | pain intensity | It will be evaluated using a Numerical Rating Scale (0 indicate no pain, 10 indicate most vulnerable pain) | Change form baseline at 4 weeks | |
Secondary | pressure pain threshold | It will be evaluated in the middle of the upper trapezius muscle and the dominant side of the tibialis anterior muscle. It will be evaluated two times at 30-second intervals. The average of value will be recorded. | Change form baseline at 4 weeks | |
Secondary | temporal summation | It will be evaluated in the middle of the upper trapezius muscle. 10 subsequent stimuli with a 1-second application at the level of pressure pain threshold and 1-second rest. Pain intensity at 1, 5 and 10th stimuli will be asked based on the Numerical Rating Scale. | Change form baseline at 4 weeks | |
Secondary | conditioned pain modulation | The sphygmomanometer will be applied on the arm which is the contralateral side of the upper trapezius. It will be inflated at a rate of 20 mm/Hg and held at this value for 30 seconds. Then, the patient's pain intensity will be questioned according to the numerical pain scale. | Change form baseline at 4 weeks | |
Secondary | neck disability | A neck disability questionnaire (NDI) will be used | Change form baseline at 4 weeks |
