## Brief Summary

People with neck pain often experience pain, neck disability, and poor quality of life. Postural-based awareness programs are evidence-based interventions for postural problems and neck pain disorders. This study aims to determine the effectiveness of a telehealth physiotherapist-delivered postural awareness program combined with exercise in people with neck pain. Pain, neck disability, leisure time management, and exercise stage of change were evaluated.

## Detailed Description

Pain with visual analog scale, neck disability with Neck Disability Index, Leisure time management with Leisure Time Management Scale, and exercise stage of change with exercise Stage of change Scale were determined. The authors aim to find out if there are any changes before and after the program on the pain, neck disability, and evaluation subscale of the leisure time management scale, and exercise stage of change of participants.

## Eligibility

- **Minimum age:** 18 Years
- **Maximum age:** 60 Years
- **Sex:** ALL
- **Healthy Volunteers:** No

- **Postural Awareness Program with Exercises in people with neck pain** (EXPERIMENTAL) — Postural education, bad posture, good posture, awareness, their effects in daily life

## Interventions

- **A postural awareness program with exercises** (BEHAVIORAL) — A program about postural awareness, bad posture, good posture and their effects on daily life

## Primary Outcomes

- **Neck pain** _(time frame: 5 minute)_ — Visual Analog Scale- The evaluations of this study was performed at beginning and end of study. Neck pain was determined with Visual Analog Scale with 0 indicating "no pain", 10 indicating "the most severe pain

## Secondary Outcomes

- **Neck Disability** _(time frame: 10 minute)_
- **Leisure Time Management** _(time frame: 10 minute)_
- **Exercise Stage of Change** _(time frame: 10 minute)_
