exercise therapy
Priorities of the treatment included care and interventions to avoid inappropriate neck positions and to provide a regular exercise program for neck muscles and ergonomics training (ergonomic arrangements for desk setup, reading position, computer and mobile phone use, handcrafts, television watching, and pillow height). Of note, patients were advised to avoid cold exposure, particularly in the neck area (air-conditioned environments, wet hair, and holding the hair dryer too close to the scalp). Patients that did not show improvement after training and regular exercise were initiated on medical treatment after the second week and were given myorelaxant gel and oral tablets (diclofenac sodium) for the neck area.
