Summary

This randomized controlled trial investigated the effects of cervical stabilization exercises on head posture, pain, functional status, and voicing efficiency in patients with nonspecific chronic neck pain. Following a six-week exercise program, cervical stabilization exercises resulted in significantly greater improvements in pain intensity, functional disability, craniocervical angle, and maximum phonation time compared with traditional exercises. Both exercise interventions led to significant reductions in pain and improvements in cervical posture; however, no significant changes were observed in acoustic voice parameters. Overall, cervical stabilization exercises demonstrated superior benefits in postural alignment, pain reduction, and functional outcomes.

Interventions

OTHER

cervical stabilization exercises applied

Head posture (craniocervical angle), pain (VAS, NDI) and vocal efficiency (acoustic analysis, maximum phonation time, VHI) were measured at baseline and completion. Participants were assigned to either a stabilization exercise group or a control group receiving conventional exercises. Outcome measures included Demographics and Clinical Characteristics, head and cervical posture, pain and disability indices, and voicing efficiency parameters such as maximum phonation time (MPT) and s/z ratio. Acoustic voice measures and self-reported voice handicap (Voice Handicap Index, VHI) were also assessed.These assessments were performed twice, before and after treatment. Patients with cronic neck pain were randomly divided into two groups: the Cervical Stabilization Exercise Group (n = 20, male:3, female:17) and the Traditional Exercise Group (n = 18, male:4, female:14). The both group received a total of 24 sessions of an exercise program over a six-week period, with five sessions per week for t
