Brief Summary

The aim of this study is to reduce pain, increase range of motion, increase the endurance of deep cervical flexors muscles, and increase quality of life with mobile application in the treatment of patients with chronic neck pain. Although many benefits of exercises have been proven, the effectiveness, follow-up and continuity of exercise will be investigated with mobile application tracking.

Conditions

Neck Pain; Chronic Pain

Keywords

Neck Pain; Chronic Pain; mobile Health; Mobile Apps; Quality of Life

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Neck Disability Index

  The Neck Disability Index (NDI) is designed to measure neck-specific disability. The questionnaire has 10 items concerning pain and activities of daily living including personal care, lifting, reading, headaches, concentration, work status, driving, sleeping and recreation.

  Change from pre-interventional Neck Disability Index score at the end of the intervention that will be performed 5 days in a week at a total of 4 weeks.

Secondary Outcomes (4)

• Visual Analog Scale

  Change from pre-interventional Visual Analog Scale score at the end of the intervention that will be performed 5 days in a week at a total of 4 weeks.

• Assessment of the degree of joint range of motion

  Change from pre-interventional Range of Motion Assesment score at the end of the intervention that will be performed 5 days in a week at a total of 4 weeks.

• Manual Muscle Test

  Change from pre-interventional Manual Muscle Test Assesment score at the end of the intervention that will be performed 5 days in a week at a total of 4 weeks.

• The System Usability Scale (SUS)

  Change from pre-interventional System Usability Scale score at the end of the intervention that will be performed 5 days in a week at a total of 4 weeks.
