An interventional study of modified pilates exercise and daily life advises in Neck Pain, sponsored by Dokuz Eylul University. Completed at 1 site in Turkey. Open to participants aged 18 Years to 60 Years. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2020-11-23.
Sponsored by Dokuz Eylul University · Not applicable, Interventional, and Treatment
The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of modified pilates exercises on neck pain, deep neck flexor muscles edurance, joint position sense and functionality in patients with chronic neck pain.
50 individuals with Chronic Neck Pain not working will be included to our study. We will evaluate pain (with visual analog scale), deep neck flexors' endurance (with cranio-cervical flexure test using the pressure stabilizing feedback device), cervical range of motion and cervical proprioception (wit cervical range of motion device). Besides we will conduct a questionnaire (neck disability index) to get further knowledge about their functionality. Participants will be randomly allocated 2 groups consisting of 25 participants and these 2 groups will receive different interventions. Modified Pilates Exercise Group (MPEG) will be involved in a modified pilates exercise training for a total of 6 weeks a day, 2 days a week in the presence of a physiotherapist. The Control Group (KG) will receive daily routine advises to prevent neck pain and they will be asked about to apply these advises and not to make other changes in their life. The evaluations will be repeated and analyzed 2 times, pre-treatment and 6 weeks after treatment , and the effectiveness of the modified pilates exercises will be examined in the chronic neck pain. Our hypothesis is ''Modified pilates exercises have a positive effect on neck pain, range of motion, deep neck flexor muscles, joint position sense and function in patients with chronic neck pain.''

Pain Evaluation
This test will be measured by Visual Analog Scale (VAS) score. VAS has 10-centimeter line corresponding to the amount of pain they experienced. "0" means "no pain" and "10" means "pain as bad as possible".
Time frame: 6 weeks
Neck Disability Index
Neck disability index is a survey that has 10 different sections including Pain intensity, personal care, weight lifting, reading, headache, concentration, work, driving, sleeping and resting activitie.
Time frame: 6 weeks
Posture Evaluation
Sagital plan photographs of the people will be taken and head and shoulder posture will be evaluated.
Time frame: 6 weeks
Neck Range Of Motion
Range of motion will be measured by cervical range of motion device (CROM device)
Time frame: 6 weeks
Deep Neck Flexor Endurance
Score of cranio-cervical flexion test will be measured by Stabilizer Pressure Biofeedback Unit.
Time frame: 6 weeks
Neck Position Sense
Joint position error of 6-direction (flexion, extension, right-left lateral flexion and right-left rotation) will be measured by cervical range of motion device (CROM device).
Time frame: 6 weeks
