Desk Work, Stress, and Muscle Pain With or Without Migraine
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Brain & nervous system, Pain clinical trials.
This study looks at how office work, job stress, and muscle tension relate to migraines and neck/shoulder pain in desk workers. Researchers want to understand if certain body changes (called central sensitization) connect these issues, which could lead to better ways to help office workers feel better.
