Massage showdown: can gentle or intense touch better ease neck pain?

NCT ID NCT07120659

Summary

This study is testing two different types of massage to see which one works better for people with long-term neck pain. Researchers will compare a gentle 'tactile' massage with a more intense 'cupping' massage in 60 participants. The main goal is to understand how these massages affect the body's pain pathways, which could help make future treatments more effective and widely available.
