This study aimed to evaluate the effect of postural stabilization exercises given in addition to cervical stabilization on craniovertebral angle, neck disability index, and quality of life in people with chronic neck pain.Sixty women with chronic neck pain between the ages of 20-60 were included in the study and the individuals were randomly divided into two groups. Individuals in the first group underwent cervical stabilization (CS) exercises and additional scapular and lumbopelvic stabilization (SLPS) exercises three times a week for 6 weeks. The second group was treated with only CS exercises for the same period. In addition, stretching exercises and a 20-minute hot pack were applied to the muscles around the neck of all patients. Craniovertebral angle (CVA) was measured by photogrammetry. Disability level was measured by the Neck Disability Index (NDI). The Turkish version of the Short Form-36 (SF-36) was used to assess quality of life.

| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Craniovertebral Angle Measurement | The craniovertebral angle (CVA) is formed by the intersection of a horizontal line passing through the seventh cervical vertebra in the sagittal plane and a line going to the tragus of the ear | 6 weeks |
| Neck Disability Index | The Neck Disability Index was used to assess the disability of people with chronic neck pain during daily activities | 6 weeks |
| Health Related Quality of Life | The Turkish version of the Short Form-36 (SF-36) is used to assess health-related quality of life. Short Form-36 (SF-36) is a self-assessment scale and analyses 8 dimensions of health | 6 weeks |
