TECAR therapy for long-term neck pain and stiffness
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Pain clinical trials.
This study tests whether TECAR therapy—a heat-based treatment that uses electrical energy—can reduce neck pain and improve movement in people with chronic neck stiffness. TECAR stands for capacitive and resistive energy transfer, a non-invasive technique that may help relieve pain and restore mobility.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- No previous neck surgery or broken neck bones
- No nerve pain radiating from the neck or neurological conditions
- No inflammatory, rheumatic, or systemic diseases affecting the spine

This study tests a type of therapy called Tecar therapy for people with long-term neck pain (lasting 3 months or more). It aims to see if it helps reduce pain and improve function better than standard care.
This study tests a therapy called TECAR (a type of electrical stimulation) to see if it helps relieve pain from a pinched nerve in the neck. It may be a good option if you have had neck pain for over a month and are between 30 and 40 years old.
This study tests whether TECAR therapy—a heat-based treatment using special equipment—can reduce knee pain, improve balance, and enhance quality of life in older men with mild to moderate knee osteoarthritis. TECAR uses radiofrequency energy to gently warm deep knee tissues.
This trial tests if a type of radiofrequency treatment (TECAR therapy) can reduce pain and improve function and quality of life for people with low back pain caused by a herniated disc. It involves an exercise program along with the treatment.
This trial tests a non-invasive treatment called TECAR therapy for people with chronic shoulder tendonitis (supraspinatus tendinitis). It uses energy to help reduce pain and improve healing. You may qualify if you have had shoulder pain for at least a month and are not able to have surgery.
This trial tests whether Tecar therapy (a type of heat treatment) can reduce leg pain caused by a pinched nerve in the lower back. It's for people with one-sided leg pain that has lasted between 6 weeks and 6 months.
