NCT ID NCT07395011
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
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 one of three groups. Researchers will measure pain, neck movement, and daily function over 12 weeks to see which approach works best.

- What this could lead to
- If this works, it could point toward a more effective exercise approach for managing chronic neck pain without medication.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small pilot study with only 45 people, so results may not apply to everyone. It is too early to know if DNS exercises are truly better than other treatments.
