This trial tests a new approach based on the polyvagal theory to help people with long-term neck pain. It uses gentle exercises and techniques to calm the nervous system and reduce pain.
This study tests whether a gentle electrical stimulation device (TENS) applied to the neck can reduce muscle stiffness and pain in people with ongoing neck pain. If you have had neck pain for at least 6 weeks and are willing to avoid certain medications the day before, you may be able to join.
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 compares different exercise programs to see which one improves physical and mental health in people with chronic neck pain. You may be eligible if you have had neck pain for at least 3 months and it is moderate to severe, but you haven't been in a recent neck pain rehab or exercise program.
This trial tests whether adding a special type of massage (connective tissue massage) and other physical therapies to standard neck stabilization exercises helps people with long-term neck pain feel better.
This trial tests whether a gentle electrical stimulation of a nerve in the ear can reduce pain and inflammation in people with psoriatic arthritis. If you have moderate to high disease activity despite stable treatment, you may be able to join.
