This study tests whether neck stabilization exercises can improve your sense of position and hand grip strength if you have long-term neck pain from sitting at a desk. It compares the exercises with usual care to see if they help reduce pain and improve function.
This trial looks at how chronic neck pain may affect the brain's signaling and lead to central pain. It tests a possible link between neck pain and central pain syndrome.
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 “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 trial looks at how changes in posture and balance during pregnancy affect low back pain. If you are in your 2nd or 3rd trimester and have low back pain, the study will measure your balance and see if exercises can help.
