Summary

This study looked at how neck muscles change during a head-holding endurance test in 29 people—some with chronic neck pain and some without. Using MRI scans before and after the test, researchers measured muscle activity and compared it to how well participants could hold their head steady. The goal was to better understand the link between muscle function and neck pain.
