Neck exercises for hand grip in postmenopausal fibromyalgia
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This study tests whether special exercises for the neck muscles can improve hand grip strength in women with fibromyalgia and neck pain. If you have had fibromyalgia-related neck pain for a few months, this could help you feel stronger and reduce pain.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a woman between 50 and 60 years old.
- You have gone through menopause (no period for at least a year).
- You have had neck pain from fibromyalgia for more than 3 months.
- You are right-handed and your grip strength in that hand is less than 20 kg.
- Your neck pain is at least 4 out of 10 (higher numbers mean more pain).
