Acute Effects of Myofascial Release in Individuals With Text Neck Syndrome
Sponsor: Karabuk University
Summary
This study aims to investigate the acute effects of myofascial release therapy on neck pain, functional status, and cervical range of motion in individuals diagnosed with Text Neck Syndrome (TNS). Text Neck Syndrome is increasingly prevalent due to excessive use of smartphones and other digital devices, particularly among young adults. The intervention will consist of a single session of standardized myofascial release techniques applied to the cervical and thoracic regions. The primary outcome will be neck pain intensity measured using the Numeric Rating Scale (NRS-11), while secondary outcomes will include cervical range of motion and the modified Neck Disability Index (NDI). Assessments will be performed immediately before and after the intervention. The study will be conducted with volunteer participants between the ages of 18 and 40, who use mobile devices for more than 3 hours per day and meet the diagnostic criteria for TNS
