Brief Summary:
The aim of our study is to compare the efects of conventional treatment and vagus nerve stimulation on pain, normal joint movement, disability and sleep in non-specific chronic neck pain.
36 patients aged between 18 and 65 years with non-specific neck pain participated in our randomly planned study. All these patients were divided into 2 groups. Demographic and physical characteristics of the patients were recorded. The first group was treated with auricular vagus nerve stimulation. Conservatire treatment that consists of hotpack, transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) and therapeutic ultrasound was applied to the second group. In addition to their treatment, some home exercises were given and tought. Pain was assessed with a visual analog scale (VAS). Muscle strength was evalvated with a digital hand dynamometer. Neck normal joınt motion was evaluated with goniometer clinometer which is a mobile phone application. While disability was mensured with the neck disability index, sleep quality was evalvated with the Pittsburg sleep questionnaire. All the measurements were recorded before the trearment and after the 15 session treatment.
