Muscle Energy Technique for Neck Pain and Movement
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This study tests whether a hands-on physical therapy technique called muscle energy technique can reduce neck pain and improve how far you can move your neck. If you have neck pain that's lasted at least 4 weeks with no clear medical cause, this trial may help you.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

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 study tests whether manual therapy (hands-on techniques) can reduce neck pain, improve daily function, and enhance quality of life for people with long-term neck pain.
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 study compares two gentle muscle techniques to see which better strengthens neck muscles and improves endurance in people with mechanical neck pain (pain not caused by a serious disease or injury). It may help you move your neck more easily and reduce discomfort.
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 compares two therapies for neck pain in people who use computers for long hours. The goal is to see which method better reduces pain and stiffness from tight neck muscles.
