Summary

This study aims to investigate the effect of the Muscle Energy Technique on neck disability level and cervical range of motion in individuals with non-specific neck pain. The study will be conducted at Avicenna International Hospital in Istanbul. Participants with non-specific neck pain will be included in the study. The intervention will involve the application of Muscle Energy Technique, and outcomes will be assessed using standardized measures of neck disability and cervical range of motion. The findings are expected to contribute to improving treatment approaches for individuals with non-specific neck pain.

Conditions

  • Non-specific Neck Pain
  • Neck Pain

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Arm 1-Muscle Energy Technique (MET)

Arm 1-The Muscle Energy Technique (MET) will be applied to the cervical region of participants with non-specific neck pain. The technique will involve the patient performing isometric muscle contractions against a therapist-applied resistance, followed by relaxation and stretching. The intervention will aim to reduce neck pain, improve neck disability, and increase cervical range of motion. The treatment will be applied in a standardized protocol over the study period, with pre- and post-intervention assessments conducted.

DEVICE

Arm 2- Standard Electrotherapy

Arm 2 - Standard Electrotherapy Participants in this group will receive a standard electrotherapy protocol applied to the cervical region. The intervention will be administered according to routine clinical practice for non-specific neck pain. Electrotherapy parameters will be applied consistently during the treatment sessions. No Muscle Energy Technique (MET) will be used in this group. Pre- and post-intervention assessments will be conducted to evaluate outcomes.
