Comparing two therapies for chronic neck pain
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Pain clinical trials.
This study compares two non-invasive treatments for long-lasting neck pain: a gentle spine glide technique and a soft tissue massage tool. It aims to see which is better at reducing pain and improving movement.

This study tests two hands-on treatments for long-lasting neck pain: a gentle gliding movement called Sustained Natural Apophyseal Glide (SNAG) and a soft-tissue release technique called Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization (IASTM). If you have had neck pain for more than 3 months, this trial may help find which method works better for you.
This study compares two hands-on therapy methods (Gongs and Kaltenborn mobilization) to see which one works better for reducing mechanical neck pain. If you have neck pain that gets worse with movement or sitting still, this trial may help find a more effective treatment for you.
This trial compares three therapies—integrated neuromuscular inhibition, dry cupping, and dry needling—to see which works best for long-lasting mechanical neck pain. It may help if you have had neck pain for over six months with trigger points in your upper shoulder muscle.
This trial tests two hands-on treatments (Mulligan and Active Release) for people with long-lasting mechanical neck pain. It aims to see which approach works better for reducing pain and improving daily function.
This study compares two gentle hands-on techniques (Mckenzie and Maitland) to see which works better for easing chronic neck pain. It is designed for young adults aged 18–29, and aims to find a treatment that can help you move more freely and feel better.
This trial tests two hands-on physical therapy methods for chronic neck pain. Researchers will compare a technique called neuromuscular inhibition with instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization to see which better reduces pain, improves neck strength, and restores your sense of body position.
