Brief Summary

The aim of this study is to reveal the relationship between the degree of neck straightening and pain, phone addiction and nomophobia in young adult patients who applied to the clinic with the complaint of neck pain and were diagnosed with neck straightening as a result of radiological examinations. 120 patients who applied to the clinic with the complaint of neck pain and were diagnosed with cervical hypolordosis by radiological examination will be included in the study. After giving the necessary verbal and written information about the study, a link will be sent to the phones of the patients whose informed consent was obtained. Patients will access evaluation questions and survey questions via this link. Personal information with the Sociodemographic Data Form prepared by us; pain severity by Visual Analogue Scale (VAS); phone addiction level with the Smartphone Addiction Questionnaire (Young Population); nomophobia levels will be evaluated with the Nomophobia Scale.

Conditions

Neck Pain

Keywords

neck pain; Nomophobia; phone addiction

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (3)

• Visual Analog Scale

  Participants are asked to select the point where they feel their pain on a 10-centimeter (cm) horizontal line. 0 - no pain, 10 - unbearable pain. Pain conditions are evaluated separately at night, during activity and at rest.

  through study completion, an average of 1 year

• Nomophobia

  It has 20 items and 4 dimensions in total. These four dimensions, in order, are not being online, losing communication, not feeling comfortable, and not being able to access information. Each of the 20 questions in the 5-point Likert-type scale is scored by the participants as 1 point - strongly disagree, 7 points - strongly agree. If the total score is 20, it is graded as no nomophobia, 21-59 as mild nomophobia, 60-99 as moderate nomophobia, 100-140 as extreme nomophobia.

  through study completion, an average of 1 year

• Smartphone Addiction Survey (Young Population)

  The scale consists of 33 questions and 7 sub-parameters in total. Sub-parameters Functioning Impairment, Withdrawal Symptom, Positive Expectation, Virtual Directed Relationship, Overuse, Social Network Addiction, and Physical are symptoms. As the score increases, the level of addiction increases.

  through study completion, an average of 1 year

Secondary Outcomes (1)

• Cervical Radiography

  through study completion, an average of 1 year
