Can a smartphone replace a therapist for neck pain? new study investigates.

This study tests whether doing electrotherapy and neck exercises at home via video calls works as well as doing them in a clinic. One hundred adults with chronic neck pain will be split into two groups: one doing a remote program and one doing in-person sessions. Both groups will receive the same treatment over 8 weeks, and researchers will measure pain, disability, and quality of life to compare the results.
