Details and patient eligibility

About

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.

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.

45 participants in 3 patient groups

First Intervention

Experimental group

Description:

5 minutes of Ultrasound, 20 minutes of Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) and hot pack application will be applied.

Treatment:

Other: Conventional therapy

Second Intervention

Experimental group

Description:

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.
