Other trials that look related to this one.
This study looks at how nerve signals travel in people with long-term neck pain and whether this relates to central pain (pain caused by changes in the nervous system). It may help doctors understand why some people have more persistent or widespread pain.
This study looks at “central sensitization,” which means the nervous system may become more sensitive to pain, in pregnant people. It aims to understand pain changes during pregnancy and how different factors may affect them.
This study looks at how neck pain symptoms relate to actual neck movement and physical ability in women. It aims to better understand chronic neck pain, which may help improve future treatments.
This study looks at physical differences between people with cervicogenic headache (a headache that starts in the neck), people with chronic neck pain without headache, and healthy controls. By comparing these groups, researchers hope to better understand what causes the headache and which physical features are specific to it.
This study looks at how changes in balance during pregnancy affect low back pain. If you join, you may receive exercises or other treatments to help ease your pain and improve your stability.
This study looks at whether there is a link between gum (periodontal) disease and long-term neck pain without a clear cause. If you are between 30 and 55, have most of your own teeth, and don't take regular pain medicine, you may be able to help doctors understand this connection.
