Brief summary (from the registry)
45 sedentary volunteer female individuals whose age range is between 18-25 years and diagnosed with chronic idiopathic neck pain by a specialist physical therapy doctor will participate in the study. Participants will be randomly divided into three groups: vegan diet group (n=15), therapeutic exercise group (n=15) and control group (n=15). Participants with chronic neck pain who will be on a vegan diet will follow a diet program prepared by an expert dietitian under the supervision of an endocrinologist. In this diet program, a diet that includes grains, fruits, vegetables, legumes, as well as dairy products and eggs, known as lacto-ovo vegetarian, will be applied. Consumption of meat, poultry, fish, seafood and processed food and beverages will not be allowed. There will be no calorie restriction in the diet, and the diet will be arranged according to the amount of calories calculated by the expert dietitian according to BMI. The diet will last eight weeks. Individuals who follow a diet will be constantly checked by the workers with the mobile device application (My Fitness Pal®). Individuals in the therapeutic exercise group will perform therapeutic exercises for eight weeks, 3 days a week, accompanied by a specialist physiotherapist.The aim of this study is to compare the Effect of Therapeutic Exercise and Vegan Diet on Pain and Quality of Life in Young Women with Chronic Idiopathic Neck Pain.
