CHRONIC NECK PAIN

This study will follow 80 people with chronic pain (like back, hip, or nerve pain) who are getting a procedure called cryoneurolysis, which uses cold to temporarily block pain signals. Researchers want to see if it leads to meaningful pain relief and better daily function over 12…

This study compares two types of ultrasound-guided injections for people with chronic neck pain caused by small joints in the spine (facet joints). About 130 adults aged 18-80 with at least 3 months of neck pain will receive either a standard nerve block or a newer block targetin…

This study tests whether adding mindfulness training to supervised rehabilitation exercises helps office workers with chronic neck pain more than exercises alone. Forty-eight participants will be randomly assigned to either an 8-week program of mindfulness plus exercise or exerci…

This study tests whether a special exercise approach called Dynamic Neuromuscular Stabilization (DNS) can reduce chronic neck pain better than standard neck exercises or usual physiotherapy. Forty-five adults with neck pain lasting at least 12 weeks will be randomly assigned to o…

This study tests a telerehabilitation program for people with chronic non-specific neck pain lasting at least 12 weeks. Participants will do exercises and receive pain education via video calls. The goal is to see if this approach reduces pain and disability compared to a standar…

This study tests whether a virtual reality exercise program can reduce pain and improve daily function in people with chronic neck pain. Thirty-two adults aged 18-65 with neck pain lasting at least 6 months will attend 45-minute VR sessions three times a week for 8 weeks. Researc…

This study tests whether adding a specific neck muscle strengthening exercise to standard neck training can reduce pain and improve movement in people with chronic neck pain. About 42 adults aged 18 to 35 with neck pain lasting over 3 months will be randomly assigned to either st…

This study will use ultrasound to measure the thickness of the masseter (jaw) muscle in 90 adults—45 with chronic neck pain and 45 healthy. The goal is to see if the muscle is different in those with neck pain and how it relates to pain intensity and disability. No treatment is g…

This study will test whether a new virtual reality (VR) app can reliably measure how well people with chronic neck pain can move and sense the position of their neck. About 58 adults with and without neck pain will perform standard neck movements while being measured by both the …
