About

This study will be determined whether the pressure pain threshold and hand grip strength are affected in individuals with neck pain compared to individuals without neck pain.

Full description

When the literature is examined, there are studies examining different parameters in different occupations, men and women with neck pain, individuals with cervical disc hernia, and individuals with chronic neck pain. Studies have addressed different parameters that may be associated with neck pain from different perspectives. However, no study was found in which the pressure pain threshold and hand grip strengths were determined and the relationship was examined in individuals with and without chronic neck pain. Therefore, with this study, it will be determined whether the pressure pain threshold and hand grip strength are affected in individuals with neck pain compared to individuals without neck pain.
