Stretching Exercises: Stretching exercises will be applied to the cervical muscles, pectoral muscles, back, and shoulder muscles. Individuals will be asked to perform flexion, extension, lateral flexion, and rotational normal joint movements in the cervical region, and hold the end position for a few seconds. All stretching exercises will be performed for 15 repetitions.

Active Exercises: To strengthen the cervical muscle groups, individuals will be taught how to use a mild to moderate resistance theraband for cervical flexion, extension, and lateral flexion, without compromising the chin tuck movement. Each movement will be performed for 10 repetitions, with 5-second rest intervals between exercises.

Endurance Exercises: Before starting the endurance exercises, individuals will be taught the contraction of deep cervical flexors to gain automatic postural stabilization, and they will be instructed to maintain this movement in every exercise and activity.

Assessment of Muscle Endurance: Neck Flexor Muscles, Neck Deep Flexor Muscles, Neck Extensor Muscles

Assessment of Upper Extremity Functionality: The Nine-Hole Peg Test will be used to evaluate the upper extremity functionality of the individuals

Upper Extremity Functional Index-15

Examination of Pathological Changes in the Disc In our study, Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) will be used to determine the structure of the disc and the severity of herniation. MRI is a non-invasive assessment method for examining disc herniation and identifying pathological changes in the disc. With MRI, various parameters will be examined, such as bulging, disc protrusion, disc extrusion, disc sequestration, central/paracentral, posterolateral disc herniation, nerve root compression, and disc degeneration. MRI evaluations will be performed using T2 and T1-weighted sagittal sections and T2-weighted axial sections as references. The anterior-posterior (AP) disc height and herniation thickness from the midpoint of the AP length will be evaluated in millimeters (mm).

The Motor Imagery Questionnaire-3 (MIQ-3) is used to assess motor imagery ability. It is designed to evaluate individuals' capacity to mentally simulate and visualize movements in their minds. MIQ-3 is commonly used among athletes, dancers, and individuals engaged in various physical activities.

Mental Chronometry is a method used to measure the time it takes for individuals to mentally process and execute specific movements or tasks in their minds. It provides insights into the speed and accuracy of mental movement representations.

Lateralization Test is employed to determine the degree of lateralization in individuals, specifically assessing their preference for using one side of the body over the other. It helps to understand the dominance of the left or right hemisphere of the brain in controlling motor functions.

The Fremantle Neck Awareness Questionnaire will be used to assess the level of neck awareness in the individuals included in the study.

For the assessment of neck proprioception awareness, the cervical range of motion (CROM) device (Performance Attainment Associates, St. Paul, Minnesota, 55117, United States) will be used.

The movement fears of the included participants will be assessed using the Tampa Scale for Kinesiophobia (TSK), developed by Kori et al.

For evaluating avoidance behavior due to pain, the Fear-Avoidance Component Scale will be used.

For assessing the satisfaction rate of individuals with cervical discogenic pain during the treatment period, the Short Form of Patient Satisfaction Assessment will be used. The form was developed by Hawthorne et al. in 2006, and its Turkish validity has been established by Şen et al. The scale consists of the following scoring criteria: for items 1, 2, 4, and 7: 0=Very satisfied, 1=Satisfied, 2=Neither satisfied nor dissatisfied, 3=Dissatisfied, 4=Very dissatisfied; for items 3 and 6: 0=Strongly agree, 1=Agree, 2=Undecided, 3=Disagree, 4=Strongly disagree, and item 5 is scored as 0=Always, 1=Most of the time, 2=Half of the time, 3=Sometimes, 4=Never. For scoring item 6, it needs to be reversed. The total score obtained from the scale is interpreted as follows: 0-10 points indicate very satisfied, 11-18 points indicate satisfied, 19-26 points indicate dissatisfied, and 27-28 points indicate very dissatisfied. An increase in scores signifies an increase in dissatisfaction level

The views of individuals with cervical discogenic pain regarding the treatment will be assessed through a specially prepared form for this study. The form includes a total of 5 open-ended questions, addressing the participants' opinions on the treatment they received. Participants will be asked to verbally respond to questions about the changes they observed after the treatment, the contributions of the treatment, the easiest or most challenging aspects of the treatment, and whether they would like to continue with this treatment. The responses of participants to the open-ended questions will be recorded using an audio recording system, and later, the evaluator will listen to the recording and transcribe all the answers in written form.
