Nerve response and central pain in long-term neck pain
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Brain & nervous system, Pain clinical trials.
This study looks at how nerve signals travel in people with long-term neck pain and whether this relates to central pain (pain caused by changes in the nervous system). It may help doctors understand why some people have more persistent or widespread pain.

This study explores how fear of movement, pain, and daily difficulties relate to each other in people with chronic neck pain lasting 3+ months. Understanding these connections may help improve future treatment approaches.
This study looks at how physiotherapy affects brain activity and symptoms in people with chronic neck pain lasting more than 3 months. It aims to see if physiotherapy can help reduce pain and improve function.
This study looks at physical differences between people with cervicogenic headache (a headache that starts in the neck), people with chronic neck pain without headache, and healthy controls. By comparing these groups, researchers hope to better understand what causes the headache and which physical features are specific to it.
This study looks at whether there is a link between gum (periodontal) disease and long-term neck pain without a clear cause. If you are between 30 and 55, have most of your own teeth, and don't take regular pain medicine, you may be able to help doctors understand this connection.
This study looks at how oxygen levels in the neck muscles relate to neck function and pain. It aims to find better ways to assess and treat chronic neck pain.
This trial compares two types of massage—long, gentle strokes versus a handheld massager—for relieving long-lasting neck pain. Ultrasound imaging will be used to see how the muscles respond.
