      <study_design>Randomization: Randomized, Blinding: Not blinded, Placebo: Not used, Assignment: Parallel, Purpose: Treatment, Randomization description: For random allocating of two groups with the same size of 25 participants (50 patients in total) we used block randomization with different block sizes. The sizes of blocks would be a multiple of 2 and a divisor of 40 (2,4,8). At first, the block sizes were selected randomly. Then, for each block, different permutations for equal group size were determined. Finally, one of the permutations was selected randomly. Random numbers were generated in an independent statistical office using Random allocation software.</study_design>

      <i_freetext>Intervention 1: Intervention group: The group that uses the APP receives the exercises in the form of a video through the software, and the software repeatedly reminds the patient to do the exercises. The software also has the feature that the patient communicates with the therapist in video or audio or text and expresses his problems with the therapist. Intervention 2: Control group: The physiotherapy group in the clinic also receives oral and written exercises after a routine cervical physiotherapy course.</i_freetext>
