Laser therapy for neck pain: comparing different doses
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This trial tests whether different doses of high-power laser therapy can relieve neck pain that isn't caused by a specific injury. It's for people with moderate to severe neck pain that limits movement, and who are willing to avoid pain medications during the study.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

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.
This study tests if high-power laser treatment on the upper neck muscles can reduce headache pain and improve quality of life in people with cervicogenic headaches (headaches that start from the neck).
This study tests whether high-power laser therapy can help people with cervical radiculopathy (nerve pain from the neck). The laser is applied to the neck to reduce pain and improve function, and the trial will also see if it affects the shape of the discs in the spine.
This trial tests whether high-power laser therapy can reduce pain and improve function in people with a herniated disc in the lower back that causes leg pain. It aims to offer a non-surgical treatment option.
This trial tests whether high-intensity laser therapy can reduce long-lasting neck pain and improve daily function. It may help people whose neck pain has lasted at least 3 months and who meet specific pain and disability scores.
This trial tests whether low-level laser therapy can reduce nerve pain (tingling, numbness, or electric shocks) that some people feel in their neck and shoulder area after a radical neck dissection. It's for patients who have had this type of surgery on one side of the neck and still have moderate to severe pain.
