Can stretching or cupping fix Kids' neck pain?

NCT ID NCT07575139

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

Summary

This study tests two non-drug treatments—myofascial release (a type of massage) and dynamic cupping (using suction cups)—for neck pain and poor posture in children aged 13 to 16. About 45 kids with moderate to severe neck pain will be treated for 6 weeks. Researchers will measure pain levels and posture changes to see which approach works better.
