Brief summary
The aim of this study is to determine whether EYYDM and myofascial applications have short and long-term effects on pain and disability in individuals diagnosed with chronic neck pain.
Detailed description
Participants will be randomly assigned to IASTM, myofascial release and control groups. In addition to conventional treatment, IASTM and myofascial release groups will be treated twice a week for 4 weeks. Conventional treatment will be applied to the control group for 4 weeks.
Interventions
OTHERIASTM
IASTM will be applied to the upper trapezius and sternocleidomastoid muscles of the participants for 90 seconds, with a frequency of 60 beats per minute.
OTHERMyofascial Release
Basic movements will be performed for 3 minutes in the rectus capitis, sternocleidomastoideus, hyoid region and upper trapezius regions.
OTHER250W infrared application
For 15 minutes, 250W infrared application will be applied on the cervical region from a distance of 50 cm
DEVICETENS
TENS will be applied for 20 minutes at 80Hz frequency, with a current transit time of 150ms.
OTHERHome exercise
Cervical strengthening and stretching exercises five days a week will given
