Official title
The Effects of Yoga and Motor Control Exercises on Pain Perception, Function, and Pain Cognition in Patients With Chronic Neck Pain
Overview
Identification of the effects of yoga and motor control exercises on pain intensity, pain sensitivity, function, and pain cognition in individuals with neck pain.
Detailed description
Patients participating in the study were divided into two parallel groups. The patients in the motor control exercise group were instructed to perform motor control exercises, which consist of strengthening of the deep cervical flexors, deep cervical extensors, and axioscapular muscles; stretching exercises; postural correction exercises, and patients in the yoga group were instructed to perform a yoga program, which consists of breathing, relaxation, and flexibility exercises.
Interventions
- Other Yoga
The yoga program was applied to all patients in this group, accompanied by a physiotherapist. Sessions included selected breathing, warm-up, and relaxation exercises. - Other Motor control exercises
Motor control exercises with three different progressive phases were applied to all patients in this group accompanied by a physiotherapist.
Primary outcome measures
- Changes in Functional Disability [Time frame: Change from baseline in functional status at 8 weeks]
Secondary outcome measures (10)
- Changes in Pain Intensity [Time frame: Change from baseline in pain intensity at 8 weeks]
- Changes in Pain Sensitivity [Time frame: Change from baseline in pain sensitivity at 8 weeks]
- Changes in Alexithymia [Time frame: Change from baseline in alexithymia at 8 weeks]
- Changes in Cognitive Function [Time frame: Change from baseline in cognitive function at 8 weeks]
- Changes in Pain Catastrophizing [Time frame: Change from baseline in pain catastrophizing at 8 weeks]]
- Changes in Kinesiophobia [Time frame: Change from baseline in kinesiophobia at 8 weeks]
- Changes in Neck Awareness [Time frame: Change from baseline in neck awareness at 8 weeks]]
- Changes in Body Awareness [Time frame: Change from baseline in body awareness at 8 weeks]
- Changes in Central Sensitization [Time frame: Change from baseline in central sensitization at 8 weeks]
- Changes in Hand Grip Strength [Time frame: Change from baseline in hand grip strength at 8 weeks]
