Background and purpose: In recent years, dietary practices have begun to be used in painful conditions. This study
aimed to investigate the efect of a vegan diet and therapeutic exercise in patients with chronic non-specifc neck
pain.
Materials and methods: A total of 45 young female patients with chronic non-specifc neck pain, aged 18–25 years,
participated in the study. Body mass index and body fat percentage were measured with bioelectrical impedance
analysis. Pain severity was assessed using the Visual Analogue Scale, quality of life with the short form-36 scale, kinesiophobia with the Tampa scale of kinesiophobia and neck disability with the Neck Disability Index.
Results: The pain severity reduced in the diet group and exercise group after treatment (p = 0.001). After treatment,
Neck Disability Index score decreased in the diet group and exercise group (p = 0.001). Tampa scale of kinesiophobia
score decreased in the diet group and exercise group (p = 0.001). The eight domains of the short form-36 scale score
increased in the diet group and exercise group (p < 0.05). No diference was found in the body mass index and fat
percentage in all groups before and after treatment (p˃ 0.05).
Conclusion: A vegan diet and therapeutic exercise are benefcial to patients with chronic non-specifc neck pain in
terms of pain severity and quality of life.
