Patients were admitted to the treatment as day visitors. Vagus nerve stimulation is carried out with a TENS device, which has specially designed surface electrodes in the shape of earphones, the size of which can be selected according to ear size. Electrodes were placed to correspond with the inner and rear surfaces of the tragus and the concha for both ears . The application is carried out, for 30 minutes, using a biphasic, asymmetrical waveform with a pulse duration that is less than 500 microseconds and a frequency of 10 Hertz.

The exercise group was assigned a program, which consisted of strengthening, stretching, isometric and posture exercises, targeting the body and upper and lower extremities. That program was home-based and the program was requested to be completed. Patients were asked to attend weekly face to face sessions with a total of 4 of these sessions in the study duration.

Auricular Vagus Nerve Stimulation For Fibromyalgia Syndrome

The Impact Of Auricular Vagus Nerve Stimulation On Pain And Life Quality In Patients With Fibromyalgia Syndrome

Life quality of patients was evaluated using the SF-36 life quality scale. The Turkish validity and reliability of this scale was carried out by Koçyiğit et al. Investigating life quality regarding overall health, this questionnaire contains 36 questions in 8 different categories.
The SF-36 consists of eight scaled scores, which are the weighted sums of the questions in their section. Each scale is directly transformed into a 0-100 scale on the assumption that each question carries equal weight. The lower the score the more disability. The higher the score the less disability i.e., a score of zero is equivalent to maximum disability and a score of 100 is equivalent to no disability. To calculate the scores it is necessary to purchase special software. Pricing depends on the number of scores that the researcher needs to calculate.

Cyriax Manipulation in Cervical Discogenic Pain

Effects of Cyriax Manipulation in Cervical Discogenic Pain

Changes from base line Northwick disability index was developed first in Northwick Park hospital, England. It was designed to measure the neck pain and disability over time. It consists of 10, five parts sections. At the end, score is calculated by dividing the obtained score by total (50) multiplied by 100. As the driving section was missing in all the female patients, total score was considered as 45 instead of 50.

Changes from base Line Numeric Pain rating scale is a scale for pain starting from 0-10. where 0 indicate no pain and 10 indicate severe pain.
