Neck and shoulder exercises for chronic neck pain from cervical spondylosis
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This study tests two different exercise programs for neck pain caused by cervical spondylosis (wear-and-tear on the neck bones). One program focuses on deep neck muscles with a pressure device, and the other adds shoulder exercises. The goal is to see which approach better reduces pain, improves movement, and lessens neck disability.

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 a special set of exercises for your neck muscles to help with chronic neck pain. It focuses on strengthening deep muscles and improving how your body senses 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 study tests whether specific neck exercises can reduce nerve-related pain and sensitivity in people with long-lasting neck pain. It may help you understand if these exercises are a good option for your condition.
This study compares two types of gentle exercise programs—Egoscue and Feldenkrais—to help people with chronic neck pain and poor posture. Both programs focus on retraining muscles and improving how your body moves, and the study will measure which approach works better.
This study compares two different neck exercise programs to see which one is better at reducing fat buildup in neck muscles, which can be linked to pain. If you have chronic neck pain, these exercises might help improve muscle health and reduce pain.
