The Effect of Tendon Release Techniques in Patients With Cervical Disc Herniation
Sponsor: Istanbul Arel University
Summary
The goal of this clinical trial is to investigate the effect of using enhanced golgi tendon organ stimulation on symptoms in patients with cervical disc herniation. The main question\[s\] it aims to answer are: * Enhanced Golgi tendon organ stimulation is effective in reducing symptoms in patients with cervical disc herniation. * Enhanced golgi tendon organ stimulation is not effective in reducing symptoms in patients with cervical disc herniation. Participants will receive enhanced golgi tendon organ stimulation to the Sternocleidomastoideus, platysma, longus colli, longus capitis, scalene, rhomboid major \& minor, levator scapulae and trapezius muscles for 3 weeks, 2 sessions per week for 45 minutes.
Official title: The Effect of Improved Golgi Tendon Organ Stimulation From Tendon Relaxation Techniques on Pain, Range of Motion, Functionality, Endurance and Quality of Life in Patients With Cervical Disc Herniation

Enhanced golgi tendon organ stimulation
Enhanced Golgi Tendon Organ Stimulation is a method that can be used by physiotherapists and doctors. The Golgi tendon organ is the proprioceptors located in the tendon adjacent to the myotendinous junction. It is applied using two separate heads, the stimulator and the algometer. The sternocleidomastoideus, platysma, colli longus, capitis longus, scalene, rhomboid major and minor, levator scapulae and trapezius muscles and their tendons will be vibrated with a stimulator for 30 seconds, then 0.5 kilograms of pressure will be applied with an algometer from the origin to the insertion of the muscle in the region at 0.5 centimetre intervals at an angle of 90 degrees.
