Brief summary (from the registry)
Neck pain is among the causes of morbidity that causes disability. Although it is not life-threatening, neck pain is one of the most important reasons for a decrease in the workforce. Since there is a close anatomical, musculoskeletal and neural connection between the cervical region and the thoracic spine, neck pain can affect respiratory functions by causing biomechanical changes in the thoracic spine and rib cage. The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of aerobic exercise and high-intensity interval training, which are known to have an effect on both the musculoskeletal system and respiratory functions, on the respiratory parameters and musculoskeletal system disorders and clinical outcomes of people with neck pain when applied with an arm ergometer.
