First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study tests whether adding mindfulness training to supervised rehabilitation exercises helps office workers with chronic neck pain more than exercises alone. Forty-eight participants will be randomly assigned to either an 8-week program of mindfulness plus exercise or exercise only. The goal is to see if the combined approach reduces pain intensity and improves quality of life.

What this could lead to

If it works, this could point toward a simple, drug-free way to better manage chronic neck pain in office workers.
