Brief summary
Non spesific cervical pain syndromes are the most common cervical pathologies encountered in clinical practice. Non spesific cervical pain syndrome occurs as a result of postural deformities. Massage and mobilization techniques are used in the treatment of Non spesific cervical pain syndrome due to their analgesic effects. The Cyriax mobilization technique is a manual therapy method applies to correct the limitation of movement in the joint and to relieve pain and functional disorders. Many studies have shown that Cyriax mobilization technique provides faster and momentary painless joint movement compared to other physical therapy modalities. Cervical mobilisation techniques also have regulator effect on autonomic nerve system. Cervical mobilisation also has positive effects on anxiety and tension.
Detailed description
In this study, 32 patients with age range 18-65 who applied to Kırşehir Ahi Evran University Training and Research Hospital were examined. The individuals included in the study were divided into two groups according to the paired randomization method. These groups were control and intervention groups. Traditional physiotherapy methods were applied to the control group, traditional physiotherapy and Cyriax mobilisation techniques were applied to the intervention group. Traditional physiotherapy methods were included; Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS), Ultrasound (US), isometric strengthening exercises. For the evaluation of patients; Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), cervical goniometric measurements, Lowett muscle test, Burdon Test and Beck Anxiety Test were used.

| Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) | 0-2 weeks | A Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) is a measurement instrument that tries to measure a characteristic or attitude that is believed to range across a continuum of values and cannot easily be directly measured. It is often used in epidemiologic and clinical research to measure the intensity or frequency of various symptoms. When responding to a VAS item, respondents specify their level of agreement to a statement by indicating a position along a continuous line between two end-points. |
