About
The purpose of this study is to compare the effects of virtual reality, which encourages active neck movements, in individuals with chronic neck pain, with the control group receiving only neck exercises. Participants will be randomly divided into two groups; Half of them will be given only a neck exercises program, and the other half will be given neck exercises and virtual reality.
Full description
Individuals with chronic neck pain tend to have low levels of endurance in deep neck flexor muscles. Conservative treatments for neck pain, including posture education, strengthening, range of motion, motor control, flexibility, and proprioceptive training, are recommended in clinical guidelines. Virtual reality has been shown to be beneficial in the treatment of various issues related to pain in previous systematic reviews. Distracting attention is one of the mechanisms explaining the impact of virtual reality on pain. It is believed that virtual reality reduces pain perception by influencing pain pathways.
