Neck muscle control therapy for long-term neck pain
Part of Mental health, Pain clinical trials.
This study tests two different physical therapy techniques—one focusing on how your brain controls neck movement, and another that releases muscle tension—to see which works better for long-term neck pain. If you have chronic neck pain and limited movement, you may be able to join.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are between 18 and 35 years old.

- Your neck pain has lasted for more than 3 months.
- You have limited movement in your neck, especially in the upper part.

This trial tests a combination of hand-on treatments (a quick push to the upper back and gentle movements to the neck) to see if it helps people with ongoing neck pain and stiffness. It might be an option if you've had neck pain for more than 3 months and have trouble moving your neck or upper back.
This trial compares two different treatments for long-lasting neck pain: a special exercise that helps with neck posture (cervical retraction) and a gentle manual therapy technique (facet oscillatory mobilization). It aims to find which method is better at reducing pain and improving neck movement.
This study tests whether a hands-on physical therapy technique called muscle energy technique can reduce neck pain and improve how far you can move your neck. If you have neck pain that's lasted at least 4 weeks with no clear medical cause, this trial may help you.
This study tests two types of gentle muscle-relaxing techniques for long-term neck pain with forward head posture. It compares one technique alone versus the same technique combined with a specific exercise to see which works better.
This study tests whether a special hands-on therapy (spinal manipulation) can help people with long-term neck pain. It will measure how the neck moves and whether the treatment improves movement and reduces pain.
This study tests whether adding a special hands-on technique to standard neck exercises can better relieve chronic mechanical neck pain. It is for people with active trigger points (knots) in their upper neck muscles.
