Brief summary (from the registry)
The aim of the study was to improve pain, function, balance and reaction times in people with chronic neck pain by stimulating and improving the components that provide input to the central nervous system (proprioceptive, visual, vestibular) through manual therapy and exercise and to reveal the results of vizio-vestibular training applied in addition to manual therapy and exercise. Therefore, the hypotheses of this study were; H1: Manual therapy and exercise have a positive effect on pain, function, balance and reaction time in people with chronic neck pain. H2: Vizio-vestibular exercises given in addition to manual therapy and exercise have a positive effect on pain, function, balance and reaction time in people with chronic neck pain. H3: There is no difference between the effects of manual therapy and exercise and viziovestibular exercises in addition to manual therapy and exercise on pain, function, balance and reaction time in people with chronic neck pain.
