NCT ID NCT07531537
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether adding breathing exercises or deep neck flexor training to standard care (like TENS and stretching) better relieves chronic neck pain. Sixty-six adults aged 18-35 with neck pain lasting over 3 months will be randomly assigned to one of three groups. The goal is to see which approach improves pain, neck movement, muscle endurance, and daily function.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
respiratory exercises and deep neck flexor training
What this could lead to
If successful, this could show that simple breathing exercises are as effective as specialized neck training for reducing chronic neck pain and improving function.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage study with only 66 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. It compares two non-drug approaches, so any benefit is likely modest and not a cure.
