Article Citation - Scopus: 0The Proprioceptive Puzzle: An Observational Study Investigating the Effects of Cervical Proprioceptive Errors on Quantitative Sensory Testing and Body Awareness in Young Individuals(Public Library of Science, 2025) Acet, N.; Begen, S.Objective The present study investigates the effects of cervical proprioceptive errors (CPE) on body awareness and quantitative sensory testing (QST), including the pressure pain threshold, temporal summation, and conditioned pain modulation in young individuals. Materials and methods Included in this prospective cross-sectional study were 78 participants who were divided into two groups based on the presence or absence of CPE. The study was registered on ClinicalTrials.gov with the clinical trial number [NCT06559397]. Cervical proprioception was measured using the “head position error test”, body awareness was assessed using the “Body Awareness Questionnaire”, QST was assessed using a mechanical pressure algometer, and conditioned pain modulation was evaluated using cold stimulus. Results The study revealed a significant reduction in body awareness among those with CPE (p < 0.001), while no significant differences were found between the groups in terms of QST, including the pressure pain threshold, temporal summation, and conditioned pain modulation (p > 0.05). Conclusions CPE can have a significant impact on body awareness, leading to a decrease in the ability to perceive one’s own body. While the present study offers no significant findings related to QST, it provides new insights into the relationship between proprioception, body awareness, and pain processing mechanisms. Clinically, the results suggest the importance of integrating interventions aimed at enhancing body awareness into the treatment protocols of patients with CPE. © 2025 Acet.

Methods: A prospective, double-blind, randomized clinical trial was conducted involving a 3-week treatment protocol for which 66 patients were randomly assigned to 2 groups. Both groups underwent conventional physiotherapy (hot pack and transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation) twice a week for 3 weeks along with additional cervical mobilization in the mobilization group, and sham mobilization in the sham control group. Static and dynamic balance, cervical proprioception, cervical mobility, and pain intensity were evaluated using a Kinesthetic Skill Training System 3000 device, the "Joint Position Error Test," Cervical Range-of-Motion Instrument, and the visual analog scale, respectively. Results: After treatment, significant improvements were noted in dynamic balance, mobility, pain intensity (P < .001, P < .001, P < .001, respectively), and proprioception in the left direction of rotation in the mobilization group (P = .003) that were significantly greater than those observed in the sham mobilization group (P < .001, P < .001, P < .001, P = .003, respectively). Although a significant decrease was observed in the deficits of static balance (P = .044) and proprioception in the right direction of rotation (P = .011) after mobilization, the changes were similar in both the mobilization and sham mobilization groups (P = .192, P = .154, respectively). Conclusion: Cervical mobilization led to significant improvements in dynamic balance, pain intensity, mobility, and partial improvements to proprioception in a comparison with a sham mobilization group, while the effect on static balance was not significant.Article Citation - WoS: 0Citation - Scopus: 0The Effect of a Single Session Rubber Hand Illusion on Pressure Pain Is Not Long-Lasting(John Wiley and Sons Inc, 2025) Ceylan, H.; Acet, N.; Günendi, Z.Background: Rubber hand illusion (RHI) is an experience that causes changes in body perception and awareness as a result of the integration of simultaneous perceived visual and tactile stimuli. After synchronous brush strokes with rubber and real hands, the person perceives the rubber hand as their own. RHI is known to alter pain perception. In this study, it was aimed to evaluate the effects of RHI on pressure pain threshold and continuity of this effect. Methods: Twenty-three volunteers who developed RHI were included in our study and two conditions, illusion (synchronous) and control (asynchronous), were applied. The illusion condition was created by synchronous brush strokes, while the control condition was created by asynchronous brush application using different frequency and different finger areas in the same individuals. In both conditions, pressure pain threshold measurements with an algometer were performed at four times: baseline/1st measurement, during the brush stroke/2nd measurement, at the end of the brush stroke/3rd measurement and after the hand was removed from the environment/4th measurement. Results: It was shown that RHI increased the pressure-pain threshold (p = 0.004) in healthy volunteers. Asynchronous brush strokes arranged as a control trial significantly decreased the pressure pain threshold (p = 0.002). Conclusions: It was found that the threshold values that change during the brush strokes return to the initial state after the brush strokes are terminated and the rubber hand is removed from the environment so that the effect of the illusion does not last for a long time with a single session application. © 2025 European Pain Federation - EFIC ®.
