First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests a new neck collar device (Cervigard) in 40 active-duty military personnel who have chronic neck pain and forward head posture. Participants either get the collar right away or after a 6-week wait. The goal is to see if wearing the collar daily reduces pain and improves function, using pain scales and X-rays. The device is designed to be a simple, low-effort treatment option.

Cervigard Neck Collar (device)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a simple, low-effort device to reduce neck pain and improve daily function for military personnel.
What could go wrong
This is a small early study with only 40 participants, so results may not apply broadly. The device requires daily wear, and its benefits over standard care are not yet proven.
