The Effectiveness of Dynamic Neuromuscular Stabilization (DNS) Exercises Compared to Localized Exercises and Standard Care on Pain Intensity, Neck Dysfunction, and Upper Cervical Range of Motion in Patients With Chronic Neck Pain: A Pilot Randomized Controlled Trial (RCT)

Many people experience long-lasting neck pain, which can affect daily life, work, and overall well-being. This study aims to find out which type of exercise program is most effective in reducing neck pain, improving neck movement, and making daily activities easier. What Is Being Studied?: The study compares three different types of treatment: DNS Exercises (Dynamic Neuromuscular Stabilization): Whole-body exercises focusing on posture, breathing, and core stability. Localized Neck Exercises: Targeted exercises for the neck and shoulder muscles. Standard Care: Usual physiotherapy treatment commonly provided in clinical practice. Study Procedures: Participants are randomly assigned to one of the three groups. Each participant receives individual exercise instruction from a physiotherapist. Participants are also given simple home exercises to perform on their own. The study lasts for about 12 weeks. What Will Be Measured?: At the beginning, during, and at the end of the study, the following will be assessed: Neck pain intensity (pain scale) Neck range of motion How much the pain affects daily life and activities Possible Benefits: Participants may experience: Less neck pain Improved neck mobility Better overall body awareness Even if not every participant notices improvement, taking part will help researchers improve future treatment options for chronic neck pain. Risks: No major risks are expected. All exercises are supervised by qualified physiotherapists and adjusted to each participant's abilities. Participation can be stopped at any time if discomfort or pain occurs. Voluntary Participation and Data Privacy: Participation is completely voluntary. All personal data will be kept confidential and analyzed anonymously for research purposes only. Participants may withdraw from the study at any time without any disadvantages.

This Study Explores How Short-term Immersive VR With Exercises and Ergonomic Training Can Reduce Neck Pain, Improve Movement, Strength, and Work Productivity in Computer Users Who Are at High Risk Due to Prolonged Screen Time and Poor Posture.

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if a short-term immersive Virtual Reality (VR) intervention, combined with exercises and ergonomic training, can help treat neck pain in computer users. It will also explore how safe and effective this approach is. The main questions it aims to answer are: Does immersive VR with exercise and ergonomic training reduce neck pain and disability? Does it improve cervical range of motion, neck muscle endurance, and work productivity? Researchers will compare the effects before and after the intervention to see how well it works for managing neck pain in computer users. Participants will: Use immersive VR exercises and receive ergonomic training over a short period Attend assessment sessions to measure pain, movement, endurance, and work productivity Follow specific guidelines for posture and workplace adjustments during the study
