Pilates-Inspired contrology put to the test for chronic neck pain

NCT ID NCT07725978

First seen Jul 24, 2026 · Last updated Jul 24, 2026

Summary

This trial investigates whether Contrology training—a Pilates-based program focusing on posture, core control, and breathing—can reduce pain and improve mobility in adults with non-specific neck pain. Forty participants will be randomly assigned to either Contrology training or conventional physiotherapy for 12 weeks. Researchers will measure changes in pain intensity, neck range of motion, disability, and head-forward posture angle to see if Contrology offers added benefits over standard care.
