Turkey (Türkiye)76 participantsStarted 2025-02-17

Plain-language summary

This observational, cross-sectional study investigates the relationship between cervical sagittal alignment parameters, pain-related disability, and body awareness in patients with chronic neck pain. Adult patients aged 18-50 years who present with neck pain lasting at least 3 months and who have undergone a lateral cervical X-ray within the past 3 months will be included. Cervical sagittal parameters will be measured on radiographs, and participants will complete the Neck Disability Index (NDI) and the Fremantle Neck Awareness Questionnaire to evaluate disability and altered body perception.
