The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of functional cervical pillow on inpatients with neck discomfort.
50 inpatients with neck discomfort(NRS>4) will be randomly allocated to 2 groups. The experimental group was treated with functional cervical pillow and the control group was treated with general pillow. All applications of pillow were limited to 3-4 weeks. Primary outcomes were measured using the VAS scale. Post-treatment follow-up will be performed to measure primary outcomes at baseline, 3 day, per weeks until the duration of admission. Satisfaction levels of the patient's current status, Neck disability Index(NDI) PSQI, EQ-5D will also be collected. The applicants will also get thru the diagnosis of range of motion by X-ray(flexion, neutral, extension of their neck position)

| Functional pillow | Experimental | cervical pillow, designed functionally to decrease neck pain and help to ensure the right support of the cervical curve, was applied to patients' posterior neck area. |
|
| General pillow | Placebo Comparator | Applicants Randomly allocated to this group were issued by placebo-general pillow. There is not any specific intervention for their neck discomfort except for that. |

The NDI is a modification of the Oswestry Low Back Pain Disability Index . It is a patient-completed, condition-specific functional status questionnaire with 10 items including pain, personal care, lifting, reading, headaches, concentration, work, driving, sleeping and recreation.
| At baseline, week 2, 4 following intervention |
| Change from baseline in quality of sleep on Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index(PSQI) | The Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) is an effective instrument used to measure the quality and patterns of sleep. It differentiates "poor" from "good" sleep by measuring seven domains: subjective sleep quality, sleep latency, sleep duration,habitual sleep efficiency, sleep disturbances, use of sleep medication, and daytime dysfunction over the last month. | At baseline, week 2, 4 following intervention |
| Change from baseline in quality of life on EuroQol Group-5 dimension(EQ-5D) | This is for checking the patients' changes on Quality of Life after using the cervical pillow | At baseline, week 4 following intervention |
| Change from baseline in radiological angle on Range of motion(ROM) | ROM of applicants will be assessed by X-ray diagnosis. (neutral, flexion, extension view) | At baseline, week 4 |
