First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tested the Mulligan technique, a type of hands-on physical therapy, for adults with chronic neck pain. 76 people aged 18 to 65 took part. Researchers measured pain and neck movement before and after treatment to see if the technique helps.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
Mulligan manual therapy technique (mobilization with movement and sustained natural apophyseal glide)
What this could lead to
If effective, this technique could offer a drug-free way to ease chronic neck pain and improve mobility.
What could go wrong
This is a small, completed trial with 76 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The technique is manual therapy, so benefits depend on the therapist's skill and may not last long-term.
