Increasing use of mobile technology leads to various symptoms such as insomnia, difficulty concentrating and anxiety, especially musculoskeletal problems. "Text neck" is a musculoskeletal problem seen in individuals who use smartphones and tablets for a long time due to increased head and neck flexion posture. It causes neck, back, shoulder, and head pain, insomnia, tingling and numbness in the hands. Implementation of exercise programs for both preventive and therapeutic purposes is one of the main goals in this picture dominated by posture and pain problems. Proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF) treatment technique; In the 1940s by H. Kabat and M. Knott, PNF was expressed as a means of facilitating neuromuscular responses by stimulation of proprioceptors. It is stated that it increases joint stabilization, strength, normal range of motion, endurance and circulation and is effective in improving coordination. Although PNF techniques have been used for different spinal problems, there is no study investigating PNF techniques in text neck syndrome. The study was aimed to compare the effect of a method including muscle relaxation in the anterior elevation direction and repetition techniques in the posterior depression direction from PNF neck patterns on pain intensity, neck normal range of motion, neck muscle endurance, posture and functionality in individuals with text neck syndrome with another method including ergonomic adjustments and simple cervical exercises recommended in the literature to be included in standard treatment., conditionsModule conditions: Neck Muscle Issue, designModule studyType: INTERVENTIONAL, phases: NA, designInfo allocation: RANDOMIZED, interventionModel: PARALLEL, primaryPurpose: TREATMENT, maskingInfo masking: SINGLE, whoMasked: OUTCOMES_ASSESSOR, enrollmentInfo count: 38, type: ACTUAL, armsInterventionsModule interventions name: Exercise program including active cervical range of motion, strengthening, and posture correction exercises and ergonomic modifications, interventions name: PNF exercise program, outcomesModule primaryOutcomes measure: Pain intensity, primaryOutcomes measure: Cervical range of motion, primaryOutcomes measure: Neck flexor-extensor muscle endurance test, primaryOutcomes measure: Posture, primaryOutcomes measure: Disability, eligibilityModule sex: ALL, minimumAge: 18 Years, maximumAge: 40 Years, stdAges: ADULT, contactsLocationsModule locations facility: Istanbul Atlas University, city: Istanbul, country: Turkey, geoPoint lat: 41.01384, lon: 28.94966, hasResults: False
