Primary purpose: TREATMENT

Brief summary: Purpose: The aim of this study is to examine the effects of pain training applied with conventional physiotherapy on pain, range of motion, disability, kinesiophobia and quality of life in patients with neck pain.

Methods: The research is planned to be completed within 18 months at Istanbul Hospital.

It is planned to include 40 individualsbetween the ages of 18-65 with neck pain persisting for 3 months or more.Individuals will be randomly divided into 2 groups.

Conventional physiotherapy program will be applied to the first group. Conventional physiotherapy will be applied to the second group and neuroscience education will be given.Pain intensity will evaluate before and after exercise with 'Visual Analog Scale' (VAS), and algometer,range of motion will evaluate with C-ROM, kinesiofobia will questioned with Tampa Kinesiofobia Score, Quality of life will evaluate with Nottingham Health Profile, whereas the level of neck disability will evaluate before and after exercise with 'Neck Pain and Disability Score' (NPDS). The obtained results will analyze using appropriate statistical methods.

Detailed description: The treatment program will be applied 3 days a week for 8 weeks.Each 2 groups; will be evaluated twice, at the beginning of the treatment and at the end of the 8th week.

Conventional physiotherapy program consists of neck isometric exercises, neck isotonic exercises, stabilization exercises, stretching exercises and posture exercises and physiotherapy agents.

Neuroscience education; The trainings will be conducted in the form of face-to-face interviews and 45-50 minute one-to-one sessions.

Posters, pictures, graphics and stories, as well as booklets and videos from Explain Pain, Pain in motion and retrainpain websites will be used in appropriate sessions.

Eligibility criteria: Inclusion Criteria:

* between the ages of 18-65
* neck pain that persists for 3 months or more
