Home electrical stimulation for long-lasting neck muscle pain
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This trial studies whether a home-based electrical stimulation device placed on the neck can reduce pain for people with long-lasting neck muscle pain. It may help if your pain has lasted at least 2 months and is moderate to severe.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You use a computer more than 4 hours per day
- Your neck pain has lasted more than 2 months
- You have been diagnosed with cervical myofascial pain syndrome (neck muscle pain)
- Your pain score is at least 3 out of 10
- You must be able and willing to place the stimulation on your neck skin

This study compares two types of mild electrical stimulation to see which works better for long-term neck pain. You may qualify if you have had moderate to severe neck pain for over 6 months and have tender spots in your upper shoulder muscles.
This study tests whether a gentle electrical stimulation device (TENS) applied to the neck can reduce muscle stiffness and pain in people with ongoing neck pain. If you have had neck pain for at least 6 weeks and are willing to avoid certain medications the day before, you may be able to join.
This trial tests whether low-energy ultrasound and electrical/magnetic stimulation can reduce long-lasting myofascial pain in the low back, neck, or tension-type headaches. It may help if your pain has lasted at least 3 months and is still noticeable despite your current treatment plan.
This trial tests whether spinal cord stimulation (a device that sends mild electrical pulses to your spine) can help people with severe nerve pain in their neck, back, or limbs who haven't found relief from other treatments. You must already be scheduled to get a specific type of spinal cord stimulator for this study.
This study compares two ways of using a type of electrical stimulation (interferential current) to treat long-term neck pain. It aims to find which method works better for people with chronic neck pain.
This trial tests two therapies—dry needling (thin needles into muscle knots) and low-level laser/microcurrent (gentle energy) treatment—alone or combined, to relieve acute neck pain from muscle knots (myofascial pain). It aims to reduce pain and improve function for people with recent onset symptoms.
