The aim of this study is to evaluate the effects of deep cervical flexor muscle exercises on pain, spinal posture, and sensory sensitivity in patients with tension-type headaches. Designed as a single-blind randomized controlled trial, the study will assess participants' pain levels using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS), sensory sensitivity through the Sensory Sensitivity Scale, and spinal posture via a digital inclinometer for objective measurements. This research seeks to determine the effectiveness of these exercises in managing pain, improving spinal posture, and contributing to the enhancement of sensory sensitivity.

This study aims to investigate the relationship between health literacy, physical activity, back pain, and posture habits among university students. The Health Literacy Scale, the International Physical Activity Questionnaire, and the Posture Habits Questionnaire for Back Health in Daily Activities will be used to collect data from participants. Health literacy will be assessed in terms of individuals' ability to access, understand, and apply health-related information, while physical activity levels and posture habits will be examined for their influence on back pain. The findings are expected to shed light on the role of health literacy in promoting healthier physical activity and posture habits, providing insights for strategies to improve back health in this population.

This study, examines how maternal education affects caregiving burdens for children with cerebral palsy. Cerebral palsy requires long-term, intensive care, often leading to significant physical, emotional, and financial strain on caregivers. The study aims to assess whether higher maternal education is associated with lower care burdens, possibly due to increased access to resources or coping strategies, and whether lower educational levels result in greater challenges. A survey, combined with standardized measures such as the Caregiver Burden Scale, will be used to quantify the caregiving burden. The results are expected to inform policies or interventions aimed at reducing caregiver strain.
