Brief summary
The study will include 45 people between the ages of 25-55 with non-specific neck pain. The patients will be randomly divided into three groups. Group 1 will receive 5 minutes of ultrasound, 20 minutes of transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS), and hot pack application. Group 2 will receive 5 minutes of ultrasound, 20 minutes of transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS), and hot pack application in addition to the Mulligan mobilization technique. Group 3 will receive 5 minutes of ultrasound, 20 minutes of transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS), and hot pack application in addition to graston treatment for 5 minutes to the upper and lower trapezius, rhomboid major and minor muscles.

Group 3 will receive 5 minutes of ultrasound, 20 minutes of transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS), and hot pack application in addition to graston treatment for 5 minutes to the upper and lower trapezius, rhomboid major and minor muscles. The patients will receive treatments 3-4 times a week for 4 weeks, for a total of 10 sessions. VAS, neck joint range of motion, functional status and disability level neck pain and disability scale and SF-36 will be used as evaluation measurements.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Visucal Analog scale | 10 minutes | The Visual Analog Scale (VAS) (0-10 cm), which is found to be valid, reliable and sensitive in patients with neck pain, will be used to assess pain. O means no pain; 10 means severe pain. |
| Joint range of motion | 20 minutes | The patients' neck joint range of motion will be measured with a standard goniometer. |
| Quality of life (SF-36) | 15 minutes | SF-36 will be used to assess the participants' quality of life. The 36-question questionnaire is divided into 8 groups: physical role functioning, emotional role functioning, bodily pain, energy, social role functioning, mental health and general health perception. Each category is scored between 0-100 and higher scores indicate better quality of life |
| The neck disability scale | 15 minutes | Functional status and disability level will be assessed with the neck pain and disability scale.The neck disability scale will be used to assess how the participants' daily lives are affected by neck pain. The total score of the scale ranges from 0 to 35, with higher scores indicating higher levels of disability |
