These sequences were then sealed in opaque, numbered envelopes. After registering each participant, the researcher opened the corresponding envelope and identified the individual’s group. This method increased the scientific validity of the study by ensuring a balance of groups (even in the event of sample withdrawal), preventing the researcher from predicting allocation (reducing bias), and conducting it independently of the evaluation team, following CONSORT standards, Blinding description: Participants will be kept unaware of their group assignment (intervention or control) by designing the content and structure of the interventions in both groups to be as similar as possible in terms of appearance, timing, and method of implementation. These similarities are intended to minimize the likelihood of participants identifying their group assignment and to prevent bias arising from their expectations. This approach helps enhance the validity of the study results and reduces potential biases. N/A Chronic Neck Pain. Intervention 1: Intervention group: Kinesiotape plus Swedish massage. This group will receive a combination of two interventions: Kinesiotape: on the upper trapezius muscle to improve muscle function and reduce pain. Combined with Swedish massage to reduce muscle tension and improve blood circulation in the neck area. This combination is designed to increase the effectiveness of the treatment and improve symptoms faster. Intervention 2: Control group: This group will receive Swedish massage only. Swedish massage is used alone to reduce pain, improve range of motion, and relax the neck muscles. The aim of this group is to examine the effect of Swedish massage alone, without the combination of Kinesiotape. Yes - There is a plan to make this available What will be shared: All data will be recorded in SPSS and can be presented. When: Access begins 9 months after the publication of all articles To whom: Only available to researchers working in academic and scientific institutions. Conditions: All data can be used for citation. Where to obtain: Maryam Hosseini Maryamhosseini1996@gmail.com How to obtain: The process of receiving documents or data files includes the steps of registering the request, reviewing and approving it, preparing the data, sending it, and following up. First, the requester completes the request form (15 to 30 minutes), then the request is reviewed by the study researchers and, if necessary, additional information is requested from the requester (1 to 3 business days). After approval, the data is prepared and its quality is checked (2 to 5 business days). The data is sent electronically or physically, with electronic sending taking place immediately and physical sending taking 2 to 7 business days. Finally, the study researchers respond to any questions within 1 to 2 business days. The overall time to receive data varies between 4 and 15 business days depending on the type of request and the method of submission. Comments:

Presence of advanced neuromuscular or inflammatory diseases. Pregnancy or having movement limitations unrelated to neck pain. Prevention Prevention Intervention group: Kinesiotape plus Swedish massage.

The aim of this group is to examine the effect of Swedish massage alone, without the combination of Kinesiotape. Neck Pain Disability Index. Timepoint: Before the intervention and after the end of the study. Method of measurement: It is measured using the NDI questionnaire, which consists of 10 questions about pain intensity and functional limitations. Each question has a score between 0 and 5, and the total score is calculated between 0 and 50. A higher score indicates greater disability. Neck Range of Motion. Timepoint: Before the intervention and after the end of the study. Method of measurement: Using a goniometer or motion measurement devices (such as electronic systems or motion analysis software), the range of motion of the neck in different directions (forward bending, backward bending, left and right rotation, and lateral bending) is measured. Quality of Life. Timepoint: Before the intervention and after the end of the study. Method of measurement: It is measured using standard questionnaires such as the SF-36 (36-Item Short Form Health Survey) or WHOQOL-BREF. These questionnaires assess different dimensions of quality of life, including physical, mental, social, and environmental health.
