Nerve compression, disc herniation, and fracture-related factors may play a role in the etiology of chronic neck pain, or the pain may not be associated with a specific cause. In the cervical region, muscles, fascia, disc, nerve root and facet joints are the structures that carry pain. Problems related to these structures can also cause pain in the cervical region and shoulder, arm, interscapular region and craniocervical structures. The stomatognathic system is the integrity of the structures that perform the functions of chewing, swallowing and speaking. This system in the head and neck region; It consists of bones, muscles, joints, ligaments, teeth, supporting dental tissues, glands, tongue, mouth and surrounding tissues, and neuromuscular system. The relationship between the stomatognathic and craniocervical systems is demonstrated by the interaction between masticatory and cervical muscles. Wiesinger et al. examined the relationship between spinal pain and temporamandibular joint disorders in a large sample and stated that both conditions may share common risk factors or affect each other. The coexistence of cervical spine and temporomandibular joint pathologies (TMJ) is explained by the neuroanatomical convergence of nociceptive neurons receiving trigeminal and neck sensory inputs. Studies have shown that neck disability may be accompanied by jaw joint disability, masseter myofascial pain, and regional muscle tenderness. Olivio et al. He reported that the treatment of individuals with TMJ pathology should also focus on the neck region, because improvement of one may affect the other. Based on this idea, Calixtre et al. reported that they achieved positive improvements in pain and jaw functions in their study investigating the effects of cervical region mobilization and exercises on individuals with TMJ.

Primary | Pain assessment | Visual Analog Scale (VAS) will be used for the presence and severity of neck pain in the individuals included in the study. Each participant will be asked about the presence and severity of pain at the beginning and end of the study and recorded. For VAS, individuals are asked to indicate the degree of pain they have on the VAS scale, numbered from 0 to 10 on a straight line, with "0" being no pain and "10" being the most severe pain and recorded. | 6 week | |
Secondary | Joint Range of Motion assessment | Cervical region flexion, extension, right-left rotation and right-left lateral flexion range of motion of individuals will be evaluated with clinical goniometer. | 6 week | |
Secondary | Proprioception assessment | The Cervical Joint Position Error Test (CJPET) is used to evaluate cervical region proprioception. CJPET assesses cervical proprioception in four positions (flexion, extension, left rotation, and right rotation). It is based on the principle of finding a point while the eyes are closed. 10 repetitions for each position were done. The first four measurements are trials and the average of the last six measurements gives us the joint position error | 6 week | |
Secondary | Balance | Participants' static and dynamic balance was assessed using the Biodex balance system (Biodex, Inc., Shirley, New York). The device consists of a mobile balance platform that provides quantitative measurements of postural control in the sagittal and frontal planes in a 360° arc of motion up to 20° surface inclination. The device evaluates anterior-posterior stability index (A-P), medial-lateral stability index (M-L), and overall stability index (overall variance in both planes). | 6 week | |
Secondary | Posture | The posture of the participants was evaluated with the "New York Posture Analysis (NYPA). NYPA evaluates postural changes through observation of 13 separate body parts. After observation, five (5) points are given if the posture of the body parts is correct, three (3) points are given if the posture is moderately impaired, and one (1) point is given if the posture is seriously impaired. The maximum score to be obtained from the test is 65, while the minimum score is 13. | 6 week | |
Secondary | Disability level | Neck disability caused by neck pain was evaluated with the Neck Disability Index (NDI), which has been validated and reliable in Turkish. NDI was developed to evaluate the impact of neck pain on daily life activities (pain intensity, personal care, lifting, reading, concentration, work, driving, sleep and leisure activities) and consists of 10 sections. Each section is scored between 0 and 5 points. The total score obtained is between 0-50. Scores between 0-4 indicate no disability, scores between 5-14 indicate mild disability, scores between 15-24 indicate moderate disability, scores between 25-34 indicate severe disability, and scores above 35 indicate full disability. | 6 week | |
Secondary | Muscle strength | Flexion and extension isometric muscle strength of the neck region was evaluated with a hand dynamometer (Lafayette Instrument Company, USA). The evaluation was performed based on the muscle testing positions and method described by Lovett. While evaluating flexion muscle strength, participants were asked to flex their heads while lying in a supine position and resistance was given from the frontal region. While evaluating extension muscle strength, participants were asked to extend their heads while lying in the prone position and resistance was given from the occipital region. | 6 week | |
Secondary | Muscle endurance | The endurance of the cervical region flexor muscles was evaluated in the supine position, with the hands next to the body and in the hook position. Participants were asked to gently bring their chin closer to the chest area. The time it remained in this position was recorded in seconds. The evaluator placed his hand under the occiput to determine whether the position was maintained. The endurance of the cervical region extensor muscles was evaluated while the participant was in the prone position. The participant's head was positioned so that it hung over the bed and a 2 kg weight bag was tied to its head. The time he maintained this position was recorded in seconds. | 6 week | |
Secondary | Pain threshold and tolerance | Participants' pain threshold and tolerance to pressure were evaluated using a digital algometer device (JTech Medical Industries, ZEVEX Company). It is stated that the reliability of this digital algometer is high. In the evaluation of pain threshold and tolerance, the midpoint of the upper part of the trapezius muscle between the 7th cervical vertebra and the acromion was taken as a reference. Evaluations were made with a 1 cm2 disc head apparatus connected to the algometer device that gives results in kg/cm2. | 6 week |
