Primary outcomes

  1. Bournemouth Neck Pain Survey

    Time frame: 14 weeks

    The survey consists of 7 questions. In addition to questions about pain and disability, it also includes questions about psychosocial issues. Each question is scored between 0 and 10. The highest score is 70, with a higher score indicating a higher level of disability. The content of the survey consists of variables that must be questioned for individuals with neck pain, such as pain severity, the effect of pain on daily life activities and social life, anxiety-depression level, kinesiophobia and coping with pain.

  2. The Fremantle Neck Awareness Questionnaire

    Time frame: 14 weeks

    The questionnaire is a Likert-type questionnaire (0 = Never/Never feel like this, 1 = Rarely feel like this, 2 = Sometimes or sometimes feel like this, 3 = Often feel like this, 4 = Always or most of the time feel like this) that evaluates individual-specific altered perception. The questionnaire asks individuals 9 questions such as how they perceive their neck in relation to their body, how they perceive their body position. The total score varies between 0-36. A high score indicates a poor prognosis.

  3. Fatigue Severity Scale

    Time frame: 14 weeks

    The person indicates how much he or she agrees with each item by choosing numbers from 1 to 7. 1 means completely disagree, 7 means completely agree. The score range of the scale, which consists of 9 questions in total, is 9-63. A score of 36 or higher indicates severe fatigue.

  4. Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Survey

    Time frame: 14 weeks

    The scale includes a total of 24 questions. 19 of these questions are self-evaluation questions, and 5 of them are answered by the individual's spouse or a roommate. These 5 questions are used for clinical information only and are not included in the scoring. The scale questions that determine sleep quality include various factors related to sleep quality. These questions are to determine sleep duration, sleep latency, and the frequency and severity of specific sleep-related problems; 18 items were grouped as 7 component scores. The total score ranges from 0 to 21. A high total score indicates poor sleep quality. The scale does not indicate the presence of sleep disorders or the prevalence of sleep disorders. However, it is stated that a total score of 5 and above indicates poor sleep quality.
