High-intensity laser treatment for chronic neck pain
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This trial tests whether high-intensity laser therapy can reduce long-lasting neck pain and improve daily function. It may help people whose neck pain has lasted at least 3 months and who meet specific pain and disability scores.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You have non-specific chronic neck pain for at least 3 months
- Your neck pain scores are high enough (pain level 3+ out of 10, and disability questionnaire score 5+)
- You have not had a neck or shoulder injury in the past 3 months
- Your skin on the neck/shoulder area is healthy (no major rashes, burns, or similar changes)
- You don’t have certain health conditions, including nerve problems, epilepsy, or known strong sensitivity to sunlight

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests whether high-intensity laser therapy applied to specific “trigger points” in the neck muscles can help people with painful tight spots. You may be eligible if you have those trigger points and meet safety rules about recent neck/shoulder problems and skin and nerve conditions.
This trial tests whether different doses of high-power laser therapy can relieve neck pain that isn't caused by a specific injury. It's for people with moderate to severe neck pain that limits movement, and who are willing to avoid pain medications during the study.
This study tests whether a high-power laser treatment applied to the upper neck can reduce headache-related muscle activity and improve quality of life for people with cervicogenic headaches. If you have neck-related headaches that spread to the back of your head, this treatment might help ease the pain and improve your daily functioning.
This study tests a combination of high-intensity laser therapy (a painless light treatment) and a gentle hands-on technique called 'Mulligan mobilization' to see if it helps reduce chronic low back pain. The goal is to find a non-surgical way to improve your pain and movement.
This trial tests whether focused laser therapy (a painless light treatment) helps relieve chronic pain in the trapezius muscle, which is the large muscle between the neck and shoulder. It might reduce pain and improve function without needing medication or injections.
This trial tests if different types of low-level laser light can help reduce headaches caused by neck issues. It is a non-invasive treatment option for people whose headaches have lasted at least three months.
