Neck therapy for chronic neck pain in students
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This study tests whether transcutaneous neuromodulation (using a device that sends gentle electrical pulses to the neck) combined with neck exercises can reduce chronic neck pain in university students. It may help you find drug-free ways to manage your pain.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a university student between 18 and 30 years old.
- You have had neck pain for at least 3 months.
- Your average neck pain is greater than 3 out of 10 on a pain scale.
- You have not taken painkillers, physiotherapy, or other treatments for neck pain in the past 3 months.

This study tests different physical therapy approaches to improve pain and quality of life in people with long-lasting neck pain that hasn't fully improved with prior therapy. Participants must be 18-65, have had neck pain for over 3 months, and still have at least moderate pain and disability.
This trial tests whether adding a special type of massage (connective tissue massage) and other physical therapies to standard neck stabilization exercises helps people with long-term neck pain feel better.
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 tests whether using a gentle ear device that stimulates the vagus nerve, combined with exercises, can improve chronic neck pain. It compares the timing of the nerve stimulation with the exercises to see which works best.
This study tests if combining education with exercise can reduce pain and improve function for people with non-specific neck pain (pain not caused by a specific injury or disease). Participants will learn about their condition and do guided exercises.
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.
