Visual Analog Scale (VAS), Neck Pain and Disability Scale (NPDS), neck and jaw ROM, Pittsburg Sleep Quality Index (PUQI), Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) and Short Form 36 (SF36) were evaluated. Evaluations were repeated before treatment and 6 weeks later.
Results
From the measurements, a decrease in Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ) (p = 0.005) and neck pain (p = 0.031) was found to be significant in favor of Yoga Group. It was also observed that the increase in ROM in the neck right lateral flexion (p = 0.001) in favor of Yoga Group. The sleep quality did not change. In yoga group, a decrease in depression level (p = 0,023) and increase Quality of life in parameters of physical function (p = 0.023), vital capacity (p = 0.026), emotional health (p = 0.002), mental health (p = 0.080) were found as significant, statistically.
