First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested a five-day neck education program for 62 parents of children with disabilities who had chronic neck pain. The program taught neck anatomy, proper posture, ergonomics, and exercises. After 12 weeks, parents who took the program reported less neck-related disability than those who did not, though pain levels and other measures did not change significantly.
