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.
