Brief Summary:
This study aims to investigate the effectiveness of manual therapy plus cervical stabilization exercise compared to manual therapy alone on balance, proprioception, and neck muscle morphology in chronic neck pain.
Detailed Description:
Neck pain is defined as pain and/or stiffness localized to the dorsal area of the area between the condyle of the occiput and the third thoracic vertebra. Chronic neck pain (CNP), defined as persistent pain lasting three or more mounts, causes disability and a reduction in life quality. Balance disorders or postural instability, a deficit in proprioception, changes in muscle recruitment, a decrease in dimension of deep cervical muscle, and an increase in stiffness of superficial neck muscle may lead to pain in patients with CNP. Both manual therapy and exercise have favorable effects on management with CNP. According to our knowledge, no study has investigated the effects of manual therapy plus cervical stabilization exercise on balance, proprioception, and neck muscle morphology in CNP, yet.
