Hybrid muscle conditioning for neck pain
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Pain clinical trials.
This trial tests a new exercise program that combines muscle training with electrical stimulation to see if it reduces long-term neck pain and improves function. It may help people whose neck pain is made worse by certain movements or postures.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 50 years old.
- You have had neck pain for more than 3 months, and it gets worse with certain neck movements or postures.
- Your neck pain is at least a 3 on a 0 to 10 scale.

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 whether adding a special muscle-relaxing technique (called neuromuscular inhibition) to standard neck-strengthening exercises helps relieve chronic neck pain better than exercises alone. It is for adults with tender knots in the upper shoulder muscle.
This study tests whether strong, targeted neck exercises can help people with long-term neck pain. It also looks at how these exercises might affect breathing and overall neck function.
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 a training program to improve your neck muscles' ability to sense and control force. It may help reduce pain and improve steadiness in people with long-term neck pain.
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.
