Clinical Trial Summary

The aim of this study is to compare the effects of virtual reality and cervical mobilization on proprioception, balance parameters, pain, disability level, quality of life and overall felt effect in individuals with chronic neck pain. In addition, it is aimed to qualitatively evaluate the virtual reality perspectives of individuals with chronic neck pain.
