The Effects Of Oculomotor Exercises And Hands-On Protocol In Non-Specific Neck Pain

"Individuals were randomly assigned to the REP (Routine Exercise Program) group and the OHP group. The REP group received the traditional exercise protocol and the OHP group received oculomotor exercises and myofascial release techniques in addition to the traditional exercise. The groups were evaluated before the treatment and at the end of the 6-week treatment sessions. Patient education was given to the patients before both programs. Patient education included information about nonspecific chronic neck pain, symptoms, and complications, as well as assessment methods, parameters, tests, and exercises.~The first group, the REP group (n=19), received routine exercises, and the second group, the OHP group (n=19), received oculomotor exercises and myofascial relaxation techniques in addition to the routine exercise program. The treatments were applied for six weeks, three sessions per week, under the supervision and guidance of a physiotherapist in the clinic."
