An interventional study of Conventional therapy and Conventional therapy+ Mulligan mobilization in Neck Pain, sponsored by Istanbul Medipol University Hospital. Completed at 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye). Open to participants aged 25 Years to 55 Years, including healthy volunteers. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2026-10-05.
Sponsored by Istanbul Medipol University Hospital · Not applicable, Interventional, and Treatment
The study will include 45 people between the ages of 25-55 with non-specific neck pain. The patients will be randomly divided into three groups. Group 1 will receive 5 minutes of ultrasound, 20 minutes of transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS), and hot pack application. Group 2 will receive 5 minutes of ultrasound, 20 minutes of transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS), and hot pack application in addition to the Mulligan mobilization technique. Group 3 will receive 5 minutes of ultrasound, 20 minutes of transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS), and hot pack application in addition to graston treatment for 5 minutes to the upper and lower trapezius, rhomboid major and minor muscles.

The patients will receive treatments 3-4 times a week for 4 weeks, for a total of 10 sessions. VAS, neck joint range of motion, functional status and disability level neck pain and disability scale and SF-36 will be used as evaluation measurements.

Exclusion Criteria:
5 minutes of Ultrasound, 20 minutes of Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) and hot pack application will be applied.
Other: Conventional therapy
In addition to 5 minutes of Ultrasound, 20 minutes of Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) and hot pack application, Mulligan mobilization technique will be applied. Continuous apophyseal shifting technique will be applied as mobilization. Mobilization will be applied in 3 sets of 4-5 repetitions.
Other: Conventional therapy+ Mulligan mobilization
In addition to 5 minutes of Ultrasound, 20 minutes of Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) and hot pack application, Graston treatment will be applied to the upper and lower trapezius, rhomboid major and minor muscles for 5 minutes.
Other: Conventional therapy+ Graston
Ultrasound, Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) and hot pack application
Conventional therapy+ Mulligan mobilization
Conventional therapy+ Graston application
Visucal Analog scale
The Visual Analog Scale (VAS) (0-10 cm), which is found to be valid, reliable and sensitive in patients with neck pain, will be used to assess pain. O means no pain; 10 means severe pain.
Time frame: 10 minutes
Joint range of motion
The patients' neck joint range of motion will be measured with a standard goniometer.
Time frame: 20 minutes
Quality of life (SF-36)
SF-36 will be used to assess the participants' quality of life. The 36-question questionnaire is divided into 8 groups: physical role functioning, emotional role functioning, bodily pain, energy, social role functioning, mental health and general health perception. Each category is scored between 0-100 and higher scores indicate better quality of life
Time frame: 15 minutes
The neck disability scale
Functional status and disability level will be assessed with the neck pain and disability scale.The neck disability scale will be used to assess how the participants' daily lives are affected by neck pain. The total score of the scale ranges from 0 to 35, with higher scores indicating higher levels of disability
Time frame: 15 minutes
Plan to share: No — We can share IPD if it is need.
