An observational study in Neck Pain, sponsored by Beylikduzu State Hospital. Recruiting at 1 site in Turkey. Open to participants aged 18 Years to 65 Years. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2025-03-26.
Sponsored by Beylikduzu State Hospital · Observational
A total of 30 patients aged 18-65 years who present with chronic non-specific neck pain and 30 healthy volunteers will be included in the study. Patients with symptoms persisting for at least 3 months will be eligible for inclusion. Necessary information will be provided to all participants, and informed consent will be obtained.
To assess pain severity before treatment, participants will be asked to rate their complaints using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS), a linear scale for pain assessment. The Neck Disability Index will be used to determine the level of disability.
The Jaw Functional Limitation Scale-20 (JFLS-20), Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9), Patient Health Questionnaire-15: Physical Symptoms, Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7 (GAD-7), and the Oral Behaviors Checklist-included in Axis 2 of the DC/TMD form developed for evaluating temporomandibular joint dysfunction-will be used to assess patients' psychosocial characteristics and parafunctional habits.
Additionally, masseter muscle thickness will be evaluated using ultrasonographic measurement.
1,360 studies on the registry are indexed under Neck Pain; 299 are open to participants now.
This study's planned enrollment of 60 is below the median of 90 across 226 observational studies indexed under Neck Pain.

Malignancy means cancer. Criteria about another or earlier malignancy ask whether you have had a different cancer, usually within a set number of years.
Some are commonly allowed, such as treated skin cancers other than melanoma and early cancers removed completely — check the exceptions this study lists.

Patients with chronic non specific neck pain
Healthy controls
Masseter Muscle Thickness
Measured using ultrasonography, with values interpreted in relation to clinical findings. No fixed score range; thickness is recorded in millimeters.
Time frame: 0 day
Visual Analog Scale (VAS)
A linear scale used to assess pain severity, where higher scores indicate more severe pain. Score range: 0-10.
Time frame: 0 day
Neck Disability Index
A questionnaire used to evaluate the level of disability related to neck pain, with higher scores reflecting greater disability. Score range: 0-100.
Time frame: 0 day
Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9)
A scale measuring the severity of physical symptoms, where higher scores represent greater somatic symptom burden. Score range: 0-30.
Time frame: 0 day
Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7 (GAD-7)
A scale used to assess anxiety levels, with higher scores indicating more severe anxiety symptoms. Score range: 0-21.
Time frame: 0 day
Jaw Functional Limitation Scale-20 (JFLS-20)
A tool used to evaluate functional limitations of the jaw, where higher scores indicate greater impairment. Score range: 0-100.
Time frame: 0 day
Oral Behaviors Checklist
A questionnaire used to identify parafunctional oral habits, with higher scores reflecting more frequent parafunctional activities. No predefined score range; higher scores indicate greater frequency.
Time frame: 0 day
Started Mar 2025 (actual). Primary completion is estimated for Apr 2025, 1 month after the start.
