Patients who will undergo an exercise treatment for the UT. The exercise therapy will focus on stretching exercises for the UT. Exercise therapy will undergo 2 weeks.

Patients who will undergo DN treatment for the UT. A clinician with 5 years of DN experience will assess patients and apply DN treatment. The active trigger points will be diagnosed by the criteria described by Simons and Travell. 0.25x25mm acupuncture needles will be used. DN will be performed with fast in fast out technique and needling will continue until a local twitch response is elicited. Treatment will be applied 3 times, one week apart.

Patients who will undergo ozone treatment for the UT. A clinician with 10 years of ozone experience will assess patients and apply ozone treatment. 12 gamma ozone will be used. Patients will be injected with ozone in UT with most sensitive parts. Treatment will be applied 3 times, one week apart.

Dry needling is an evidence-based therapeutic procedure used primarily in musculoskeletal rehabilitation. It involves inserting thin needles into specific trigger points in muscles, tendons, or fascia, aiming to alleviate pain and improve musculoskeletal function. Unlike acupuncture, dry needling focuses on resolving myofascial pain and dysfunction by directly targeting trigger points, often identified through palpation and anatomical understanding. Academic exploration of dry needling delves into its physiological mechanisms, clinical effectiveness, and potential integration into comprehensive treatment strategies.

The Visual Analog Scale (VAS) is a widely used pain assessment tool in clinical settings. It involves a simple linear scale typically ranging from 0 to 10, where individuals mark a point to indicate their pain intensity level. The left end of the scale represents "no pain," assigned a value of 0, while the right end corresponds to "worst possible pain," denoted as 10. By gauging pain subjectively through this visual representation, the VAS provides a quantifiable measure of pain intensity, enabling healthcare professionals to track changes in pain over time and tailor treatment strategies accordingly.

The Neck Disability Index (NDI) is a widely used tool to assess the impact of neck-related conditions on an individual's quality of life. It consists of a questionnaire that comprises ten items, each addressing different aspects of daily functioning and discomfort related to neck pain. Participants rate their level of difficulty in various activities such as lifting, reading, and sleeping on a scale from 0 to 5. The total score is then calculated and expressed as a percentage, providing valuable insights into the extent of neck-related disability and its effect on overall quality of life. The NDI aids clinicians in evaluating treatment outcomes, designing intervention plans, and monitoring improvements in neck-related functionality.

A goniometer is a standard instrument used to measure the range of motion (ROM) of the neck joints. It consists of arms and a protractor that allows clinicians to precisely quantify the angles achieved during various neck movements. During assessment, the patient is guided through specific motions like flexion, extension, rotation, and lateral bending, while the goniometer's arms are aligned with the corresponding body landmarks. The resulting measurements provide objective data about the neck's flexibility and mobility, aiding healthcare professionals in diagnosing musculoskeletal conditions, planning treatment strategies, and tracking progress over time.
