Online vs. In-Person Therapy for Office Worker Neck Pain
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This study compares two ways to treat neck pain in young adults who work at computers: doing exercises at home via video call versus coming to a clinic for supervised treatment. Both approaches use physical therapy to help reduce pain and improve posture.
