Neck Muscle Training to Improve Hand Strength in Fibromyalgia
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This study tests whether special exercises for neck muscles can help improve hand grip strength in women over 50 with fibromyalgia (a condition causing widespread pain and fatigue) who also have neck pain. The theory is that training neck muscles may help the whole body function better.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
