Neck exercise study for chronic neck pain
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This trial tests whether high-intensity neck resistance exercises help patients with long-term, non-specific neck pain. It looks at pain, breathing, and neck strength. You may be eligible if you have had neck pain for over 3 months, are between 20-40 years old, and have some trouble with breathing or posture.
