This study tests whether a gentle electrical stimulation device (TENS) applied to the neck can reduce muscle stiffness and pain in people with ongoing neck pain. If you have had neck pain for at least 6 weeks and are willing to avoid certain medications the day before, you may be able to join.
This study tests whether heat therapy (like heat packs) can help people with new or recent neck pain that has no specific known cause. You will receive heat treatments and be checked over 4 weeks to see if it reduces pain.
This trial tests two hands-on treatments—gentle joint movement and soft tissue release—to see which better helps long-lasting neck pain. It could offer pain relief without surgery or strong medications.
This trial tests whether a hands-on technique called ischemic compression (applying gentle pressure to trigger points) plus home exercises helps relieve long-term neck pain that has no specific medical cause.
This trial tests whether low-energy ultrasound and electrical/magnetic stimulation can reduce long-lasting myofascial pain in the low back, neck, or tension-type headaches. It may help if your pain has lasted at least 3 months and is still noticeable despite your current treatment plan.
This trial compares two common treatments—TENS (a device that uses mild electrical pulses) and ultrasound therapy—along with neck exercises for long-lasting neck pain. You would get one of these treatments for several weeks to see which helps your pain more.
