Pain Education Added to Conventional Physiotherapy Program for Patients With Neck Pain
Purpose: The aim of this study is to examine the effects of pain training applied with conventional physiotherapy on pain, range of motion, disability, kinesiophobia and quality of life in patients with neck pain.
Methods: The research is planned to be completed within 18 months at Istanbul Hospital.
It is planned to include 40 individualsbetween the ages of 18-65 with neck pain persisting for 3 months or more.Individuals will be randomly divided into 2 groups.
Conventional physiotherapy program will be applied to the first group. Conventional physiotherapy will be applied to the second group and neuroscience education will be given.Pain intensity will evaluate before and after exercise with 'Visual Analog Scale' (VAS), and algometer,range of motion will evaluate with C-ROM, kinesiofobia will questioned with Tampa Kinesiofobia Score, Quality of life will evaluate with Nottingham Health Profile, whereas the level of neck disability will evaluate before and after exercise with 'Neck Pain and Disability Score' (NPDS). The obtained results will analyze using appropriate statistical methods.
The treatment program will be applied 3 days a week for 8 weeks.Each 2 groups; will be evaluated twice, at the beginning of the treatment and at the end of the 8th week.
