Description
Summary:Objective:Non-specific neck pain is pain in the lateral and posterior of the neck that is not caused by any specific reason. The preferred sleeping position in individuals with neck pain may affect pain severity, disability, upper extremity function, and sleep quality. In this study, we aimed to examine the effects of sleep positions on the parameters of young individuals with non-specific neck pain.Materials and Methods:The study was conducted with 91 (12 male, 79 female) university students aged 18-30 years with non-specific neck pain. Sleep positions were determined using sleep position images. Pain was assessed with the “Numerical Rating Scal”, neck disability with the “Bournemouth Neck Questionnaire”, upper extremity functionality with the “Upper Extremity Functional Index” and sleep quality with the “Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index”.Results:60.4% of those who experienced neck pain also reported that they also experienced shoulder pain. With the sleeping position, there was no statistically significant relationship between neck pain severity, shoulder pain severity, neck disability, upper extremity function, and sleep quality (p
