Comparing two neck exercises for chronic neck pain
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This study compares two types of neck exercises to see which one better helps reduce muscle changes in people with long-term neck pain. If you've had neck pain for at least 3 months and have not done neck exercises recently, you may be able to join.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial tests whether a special exercise approach (Dynamic Neuromuscular Stabilization) works better than standard care or other exercises for people with ongoing neck pain. You might join if you have had neck pain for at least 12 weeks and it is moderate to severe.
This trial tests different types of exercise to see which works best for people with long-lasting neck pain. You may join if your neck pain has lasted at least 3 months and is at least a 5 out of 10 in intensity.
This trial compares two different treatments for long-lasting neck pain: a special exercise that helps with neck posture (cervical retraction) and a gentle manual therapy technique (facet oscillatory mobilization). It aims to find which method is better at reducing pain and improving neck movement.
This study compares different exercise programs to see which one improves physical and mental health in people with chronic neck pain. You may be eligible if you have had neck pain for at least 3 months and it is moderate to severe, but you haven't been in a recent neck pain rehab or exercise program.
