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 compares two treatments for neck pain that has lasted more than a few weeks. One uses small electric pulses (TENS), and the other uses thin needles (dry needling) to release muscle knots (trigger points). It aims to find which helps reduce pain and improve movement.
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 if high-power laser treatment on the upper neck muscles can reduce headache pain and improve quality of life in people with cervicogenic headaches (headaches that start from the neck).
This trial tests whether low-level laser therapy can reduce nerve pain (tingling, numbness, or electric shocks) that some people feel in their neck and shoulder area after a radical neck dissection. It's for patients who have had this type of surgery on one side of the neck and still have moderate to severe pain.
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.
