This study tests whether a home exercise program can help people with long-term neck pain caused by muscle tightness or arthritis in the neck joints. It is designed for people who cannot easily visit a clinic due to disability, living in crowded cities, or busy schedules.
This trial tests whether combining Bruegger's exercises with upper thoracic mobilizations helps people with ongoing neck pain. It may show if this approach reduces pain and improves function better than other treatments.
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 Bruegger's exercise, a movement therapy, can reduce chronic neck pain and improve posture in people who have a forward head posture. It may help you if you have neck pain for a long time and your head tends to sit forward of your shoulders.
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 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.
