Telerehabilitation vs. clinic-based therapy for chronic neck pain
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
