Abstract: Objectives: The aim of this randomized controlled study was to investigate the effect of proprioceptive training on balance in patients with chronic neck pain (CNP). Methods: Forty patients participating in the study were randomly divided into study and control groups. Both of the groups underwent conventional physical therapy; additionally, the study group was rehabilitated with gaze direction recognition exercise (GDRE) for proprioceptive training. Exercises were performed during 3 weeks with five sessions per week. Pain intensity [visual analog scale (VAS)], neck disability [Neck Disability Index (NDI)], and balance [four step square test (FSST), single leg balance test (SLBT) with eyes opened and closed] assessments were conducted in the patients before and after the treatment and 3 weeks after the last session. Results: No differences were observed between the groups in terms of pre-treatment measurements. There was a statistically significant decrease in VAS scores in both groups compared with pre-treatment conditions (p<0.05). In addition, whereas a statistically significant improvement in the study group’s NDI, FSST, and SLBT with eyes opened and closed scores was observed after the treatment, pre- and post-treatment results were similar in the control group (p>0.05). Conclusion: Proprioceptive training should be included in physiotherapy programs to improve balance; it decreases the disability level in patients with CNP. © 2018 Turkish Society of Algology.
