Summary

The aim of this study is to evaluate the effects of Interferential Current Therapy on pain, disability, and quality of life in patients with chronic neck pain and to compare the effects of applying Interferential Current Therapy with vacuum electrodes versus carbon-silicon pad electrodes.

Conditions

  • Chronic Neck Pain

Interventions

DEVICE

Sham vacuum

Participants will undergo a total of 10 treatment sessions over two weeks, with one session per day, five days a week. Two-channel four vacuum electrodes will be placed on the neck so that the painful area remains in the middle. The vacuum electrodes will apply continuous vacuum mode for only 10 minutes without delivering interferential current. Following the sham vacuum therapy, a hot pack will be applied to the painful neck area for 20 minutes.

DEVICE

Interferential Current Therapy Vacuum Electrodes

Participants will undergo a total of 10 treatment sessions over two weeks, with one session per day, five days a week. Two-channel four vacuum electrodes will be placed on the neck so that the painful area remains in the middle. Interferential current therapy with a 4000 Hz carrier frequency and 50 Hz amplitude-modulated frequency will be applied for 10 minutes using the vacuum electrodes. After the interferential current therapy, a hot pack will be applied to the painful neck area for 20 minutes.

DEVICE

Interferential Current Therapy Carbon-silicon Pad Electrodes

Participants will undergo a total of 10 treatment sessions over two weeks, with one session per day, five days a week. Two-channel four carbon-silicon pad electrodes will be placed on the neck so that the painful area remains in the middle. Interferential current therapy with a 4000 Hz carrier frequency and 50 Hz amplitude-modulated frequency will be applied for 10 minutes using the carbon-silicon pad electrodes. Following the interferential current therapy, a hot pack will be applied to the painful neck area for 20 minutes.
