Brief summary (from the registry)
In this study, it was planned to investigate the effectiveness of lateralization and imagery training in individuals with chronic neck pain. A total of 34 individuals, 17 with chronic neck pain and 17 healthy individuals between the ages of 18-65, will be included in the study. Individuals in each group will be treated with lateralization and imagery training for 4 weeks. Before treatment, individuals' cognitive states will be evaluated with neuropsychological tests (Montreal Cognitive Assessment, Stroop test). Then, after completing the Motor Imagery Evaluation, Neck Pain Task Force Scale, Pain Severity, Kinesiophobia Evaluation, Neck Disability Evaluation, Proprioception Sense Test, Body Awareness Evaluation (Fremantle Neck Awareness Questionnaire) and Evaluation of Compliance with the Treatment Program, EEG recording of the individuals will be performed. EEG recording will be performed and analyzed with Spontaneous EEG, Oddball Paradigm and Lateralization paradigm. After four weeks of treatment, all pre-treatment tests will be repeated and then the individuals will be taken again for EEG recording. Brain oscillations will be examined through EEG analysis before and after treatment, and the extent to which brain activities have changed and the possible effect of the treatment on brain activities will be investigated.
