AI takes on muscle pain: could a computer outthink your physical therapist?
NCT ID NCT07342790
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether using artificial intelligence (AI) can help physical therapists make better treatment choices for people with myofascial pain syndrome (a type of muscle pain). About 70 adults with chronic muscle pain will be split into two groups: one gets therapy decisions made by a human therapist, the other gets decisions guided by AI. The goal is to see which approach leads to better pain relief, movement, and cost savings.
