Neck movement treatment for long-term neck pain and balance
Treatments studied
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Pain clinical trials.
This study tests a specific hands-on neck treatment (called Mulligan’s technique) to see if it helps people with long-term neck pain feel more stable when standing. If you have chronic neck pain that limits your neck movement, joining could help improve your balance and reduce pain.

This trial compares two non-surgical treatments for ongoing neck pain: biofeedback exercises, which use sensors to help you learn to relax and strengthen neck muscles, and the Mulligan method, a hands-on technique that improves movement and posture. It aims to see which is better for reducing pain, improving mobility, and correcting posture in women.
