The comparison of Effects of stabilization exercises and proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitationon balance in patients with chronic non-specific neck pain
Determining the effect of stabilizing exercises and neuromuscular facilitation exercises on balance in patients with non-specific chronic neck pain
Design
Clinical trial, two groups of 17 people, randomly using permutation blocks, parallel and one-blind.
Settings and conduct
34 patients referred by Zahedan specialists will be randomly divided into two groups of stability training and neuromuscular facilitation training. The subjects will not be aware of the existence of two exercise groups. Therefore, this study is a single-blind randomized clinical trial. The written informed consent form, the general questionnaire and VAS (pain rate) and NDI (disability rate) are filled in.Cranial cervical flexion test is also performed.
Participants/Inclusion and exclusion criteria
Both sexes between 20 and 50 years - with neck pain that lasts 12 weeks or more. It is not divided into any special group. No referral pain to the distal upper extremity, no pregnancy - no treatment of neck or shoulder in the last three months No history of musculoskeletal disorders - No history of head trauma - No history of visual or auditory or speech impairment
Intervention groups
The two groups included the stability training group and the neuromuscular facilitation group
Main outcome variables
General static balance with eyes open and closed. Dynamic balance with eyes open and closed. External static balance with eyes open and closed. Internal dynamic balance with eyes open and closed. Anterior posterior with eyes open and closed. Cranio cervical flexion test

Randomization (investigator's opinion)
Randomized
Randomization description
Patients in both groups will be selected using the easy (available) sampling method. As soon as patients arrive, permutation blocks will be assigned to one of the two groups by stratified randomization (Figure below)
B: Stability Exercises Group
A: Neuromuscular facilitation exercises group
In this method, after determining the age and then gender, the following table enters the groups, so that for example, the first person under 40 years old enters group B, the second B and the third and fourth person under 40 years old enter group A. . This method makes the groups the same in terms of age and gender.
Blinding (investigator's opinion)
Single blinded

Other design features
In the present study of the Biodex balance device, which is a more accurate and objective tool, the assessments are by standing on the platform and moving the degree and precise center of mass of the body on the screen, which is more accurate information with higher sensitivity than movements. The center of mass of the body, separately in the anterior-posterior, internal and external directions, provides general stability index and information related to equilibrium reactions on different pages and can be used in different static, dynamic and displacement conditions. Provides individual assessments to the assessor in a quantified and accurate manner.
