Neck Disability

Many people experience long-lasting neck pain, which can affect daily life, work, and overall well-being. This study aims to find out which type of exercise program is most effective in reducing neck pain, improving neck movement, and making daily activities easier. What Is Being Studied?: The study compares three different types of treatment: DNS Exercises (Dynamic Neuromuscular Stabilization): Whole-body exercises focusing on posture, breathing, and core stability. Localized Neck Exercises: Targeted exercises for the neck and shoulder muscles. Standard Care: Usual physiotherapy treatment commonly provided in clinical practice. Study Procedures: Participants are randomly assigned to one of the three groups. Each participant receives individual exercise instruction from a physiotherapist. Participants are also given simple home exercises to perform on their own. The study lasts for about 12 weeks. What Will Be Measured?: At the beginning, during, and at the end of the study, the following will be assessed: Neck pain intensity (pain scale) Neck range of motion How much the pain affects daily life and activities Possible Benefits: Participants may experience: Less neck pain Improved neck mobility Better overall body awareness Even if not every participant notices improvement, taking part will help researchers improve future treatment options for chronic neck pain. Risks: No major risks are expected. All exercises are supervised by qualified physiotherapists and adjusted to each participant's abilities. Participation can be stopped at any time if discomfort or pain occurs. Voluntary Participation and Data Privacy: Participation is completely voluntary. All personal data will be kept confidential and analyzed anonymously for research purposes only. Participants may withdraw from the study at any time without any disadvantages.
