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 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 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 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 trial tests whether high-intensity neck resistance exercises help patients with long-term, non-specific neck pain. It looks at pain, breathing, and neck strength. You may be eligible if you have had neck pain for over 3 months, are between 20-40 years old, and have some trouble with breathing or posture.
This study looks at how different levels of spinal narrowing affect pain, movement, and quality of life in people with long-term neck pain. It may help doctors understand the best ways to treat neck pain based on MRI findings.
