NCT ID NCT07267507

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study measures small, extra movements that happen when young adults move their necks in different directions. Researchers will test 180 volunteers aged 18-30, using a device to track motion while also checking for neck pain, disability, mood, and sleep quality. The goal is to understand how these extra movements relate to neck function and discomfort.
