Telerehab vs. in-person therapy for neck pain
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Pain clinical trials.
This trial compares doing neck exercises at home through video calls (telerehabilitation) versus in-person sessions with a therapist. It aims to see which method better reduces pain, helps you stick with exercises, and improves daily function for moderate neck pain from cervical spondylosis.

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.
This trial compares two ways of helping stroke survivors regain arm and hand function: therapy done remotely online versus in-person at a clinic. Both use a specialized approach called constraint-induced movement therapy, which encourages use of the weaker arm. The study aims to see which method works better for people in the first 6 months after stroke.
This trial compares three ways to treat chronic neck pain: doing exercises at home with remote guidance, doing them in a clinic with a therapist, or a mix of both. It aims to find which method works best for people with ongoing neck pain.
This trial tests whether doing physical therapy exercises at home using a smartphone app can help people with ankylosing spondylitis feel better and move more easily.
This study compares three ways to do physical therapy remotely (live video, self-paced online, or a mix) for office workers with long-term low back pain. It aims to find which method works best for people who sit at a desk.
This study tests whether a video-based physical therapy program can help people with chronic low back pain who live in rural areas. If you qualify, you'll get telerehabilitation (rehab done at home through video calls) to reduce pain and improve function.
