Clinical Trial Summary

In this study, we aimed to determine the effects of heat therapies and neck stabilization exercises on pain, disability, range of motion, and mood of NP patients.

Description:

Chronic non-specific neck pain (NP) has become one of the main causes of disability in the adult population around the world.Several treatment options used like; exercise, manual therapy, electrotherapy, and hot treatments etc. In this study, we aimed to determine the effects of heat therapies and neck stabilization exercises on pain, disability, range of motion, and mood of NP patients.100 patients with NP will be included.Patients will be randomyl assigned to 4 groups and will receive a total of 3 weeks of treatment. Patients' pain levels (visual analogoue scale VAS), quality of life (short form 36), mood (Beck deppression inventory BDI), range of motion, and neck disability index were evaluated prior to treatment, at 6th and at 12th weeks.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	change from baseline VAS (visual analog scale) at 6th and 12th week	The patients were asked to make an assesment of their pain level between 0 and 10 scale	up to 12 weeks
Secondary	Change from baseline quality of life (short form 36) at 6th and 12th week	The physical and mental health summary scores were the primary components used. Scoring is on a scale of 0 to 100 and a higher score reflects better health-related quality of life.	up to 12 weeks
Secondary	Change from baseline shoulder range of motion (ROM) at 6th and 12th week	The patients' joint range of motion will be measured with a goniometer.	up to 12 weeks
Secondary	Change from baseline Beck depression inventory (BDI) at 6th and 12th week	A total Beck score (0-63) is obtained by giving each question a score of 0-3 in the survey. 17 is considered the threshold value for the degree of depression.	up to 12 weeks
Secondary	Change from baseline neck disability index (NDI) at 6th and 12th week	Patient-completed, condition-specific functional status questionnaire with 10 items including pain, personal care, lifting, reading, headaches, concentration, work, driving, sleeping and recreation.; The NDI has sufficient support and usefulness to retain its current status as the most commonly used self-report measure for neck pain	up to 12 weeks
