Pulse electromagnetic field therapy

"It was applied with an electromagnetic field device (ASA Pmt Quatro Pro, ASA Srl Via A.Volta 9-36057 Italia) at 25 Hz frequency, 30 Gauss, %35 intensity and for 25 minutes. The treatment period was 5 days a week for 3 weeks, in total. It was applied as 15 sessions.~Therapeutic Exercise As a therapeutic exercise program (neck stability exercises); active cervical ROM, cervical isometric and progressive (selfexercise with Thera-Band) strengthening muscles; trapezius, scalene, rhomboid, levator scapular, pectoral, suboccipital muscles stretching exercises, scapular stabilization exercises. It was planned to implement a total of 15 sessions 5 days a week for 3 weeks, for approximately 30 minutes. Exercises will be performed by a trained (at least 5 years experienced) physiotherapist, three times a day, in 3 sets, 10 repetitions."
