Rehabilitation at home vs. in-person for neck pain in computer users
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This study compares doing neck pain rehabilitation at home through video sessions (tele-rehab) versus going to supervised in-person sessions. It aims to see if doing rehab remotely works just as well for people who use computers a lot and have neck pain.

This trial compares three ways to treat chronic neck pain: doing exercises at home with remote guidance, doing them in a clinic with a therapist, or a mix of both. It aims to find which method works best for people with ongoing neck pain.
This study compares two ways of treating long-lasting neck pain: doing exercises at home via video call with a therapist versus coming to a clinic in person. Both approaches include education about how pain works in the nervous system, which may help reduce fear around movement and improve daily function.
