Type | Measure | Description | Time frame | Safety issue |
---|---|---|---|---|
Primary | VAS(Visual Analog Scale) | Pain intensity will be evaluated with the visual analog scale (VAS). VAS is a scale used to digitize subjective values such as behavior or characteristics that cannot be measured directly. Two end definitions of the parameter to be evaluated are written on both ends of a 10 cm line and the patient is asked to indicate where his/her condition is appropriate on this line by drawing a line (0. : no pain, 10: very severe pain) | Baseline | |

Secondary | Pressure Pain Threshold | The Baseline 1200-303 (Push-Pull Force Gauge®, Fabrication Enterprises, Inc.) algometer will be used to measure pressure pain threshold. The Baseline 1200-3031 cm2 is a dynamometer applied with a flat tip. The device is brought into contact with the skin at an angle of 90º and a force is applied to provide an increase of 1 kg per second. The first value at which the patient feels the sensation of pain is recorded. The average of 3 measurements taken at 30-second intervals is recorded as the patient's pressure pain threshold | Baseline | |

Secondary | Functional Status | The change in the functional status of the patients will be evaluated with the neck disability index (NDI). NDI is a 10-question questionnaire most commonly used to evaluate nonspecific mechanical neck pain. A total score between 0 and 50 is obtained by scoring each question between 0 (no disability) and 5 (complete disability). The validity and reliability study of the Turkish version of the scale was shown. | Baseline | |
