Battle of the neck pain fixes: tools vs cups
NCT ID NCT07007442
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at which treatment works better for chronic neck pain: using a special tool to massage muscles (instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization) or applying suction cups on the skin (dry cupping). 45 adults with neck pain for at least 3 months took part. Researchers measured pain, neck movement, and daily function to see which method helped more.
