About this trial

Our study will investigate the effects of corrective exercises on pain, functionality, and gait in individuals with chronic neck pain.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Individuals aged 18 years and over

Individuals who have had neck pain for at least 3 months

Individuals with a Neck Disability Index (NDI) score of 10 or higher

Individuals who are able to understand the statements on the scale

Disqualifiers

Individuals who have received physiotherapy for neck pain within the last 6 months

Individuals who have undergone neck surgery

Individuals with sensory loss

Individuals diagnosed with orthopedic, neurological, or vestibular disorders

Trial design

Design model

Parallel

Treatments tested in this trial

  • Exercise

    Other intervention

    Corrective exercises will be taught to participants individually in face-to-face during the first session, and then they will be asked to perform them as home exercises 3 times a week for 6 weeks. Meetings will be held with participants every two weeks via video conference to obtain feedback on the exercises and make necessary updates.

  • Posture education

    Behavioral

    This is control group, they will receive behavioral changes and posture education in daily life

Treatment groups

70 Participants
are divided into 2 treatment groups
Group A: Corrective Exercise groupExperimental treatment 1 intervention
Group B: Posture education groupActive comparator 1 intervention

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Gait speed

The BTS G-Walk (BTS Bioengineering S.p.A., GarbagnateMilanese, Italy), a wearable sensor device, will be used to assess gait speed (m/sec) during gait with and without dual task through a Bluetooth®3.0 connection (G-Studio®software).

Time frame
6 weeks
2

Cadence

The BTS G-Walk (BTS Bioengineering S.p.A., GarbagnateMilanese, Italy), a wearable sensor device, will be used to assess cadence (steps/min) during gait with and without dual task through a Bluetooth®3.0 connection (G-Studio®software).

Time frame
6 weeks
3

Stride length

The BTS G-Walk (BTS Bioengineering S.p.A., GarbagnateMilanese, Italy), a wearable sensor device, will be used to assess stride length (m) during gait with and without dual task through a Bluetooth®3.0 connection (G-Studio®software).

Time frame
6 weeks
4

Step Length

The BTS G-Walk (BTS Bioengineering S.p.A., GarbagnateMilanese, Italy), a wearable sensor device, will be used to assess step length (% strength length) during gait with and without dual task through a Bluetooth®3.0 connection (G-Studio®software).

Time frame
6 weeks

Secondary outcomes

1

Neck Disability Index

Neck Disability Index will be used to evaluate the effects of neck pain on functional disability. It is a self-reported questionnaire used to assess neck-related disability. The total score ranges from 0 to 50, with higher scores indicating greater disability and worse functional status.

Time frame
6 weeks
2

The Numeric Rating Scale

The Numeric Rating Scale will be used to assess the severity of neck pain. Pain severity is defined on an 11-point scale, where 0 = no pain and 10 = unbearable pain. On this scale, the patient expresses their pain verbally or in writing by choosing a number. Higher scores indicate greater pain status.

Time frame
6 weeks
