School-Based exercise program aims to tackle Kids' neck and shoulder pain
NCT ID NCT07661875
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether a six-week program of physical activity and health education can reduce neck and shoulder pain in children aged 10 to 12. One hundred primary school students in Shijiazhuang, China, will be split into four groups: exercise only, education only, both, or a control group. The goal is to see if these simple school-based interventions can improve pain, activity levels, sleep, and quality of life.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- physical activity and education sessions
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could provide a simple, non-drug way to reduce neck and shoulder pain in schoolchildren and improve their quality of life.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage study with only 100 children in one city, so results may not apply broadly. The intervention is short (six weeks) and relies on self-reported pain, which can be unreliable.
