NCT ID NCT06312696
First seen Apr 07, 2026 · Last updated May 14, 2026 · Updated 5 times
Summary
This study looks at whether spinal manipulation (a chiropractic-style adjustment) can help normalize how the neck moves in people with chronic neck pain. Sixty adults aged 18-39 with neck pain for over 12 weeks will be randomly assigned to receive spinal manipulation, a light massage, or no treatment. Researchers will measure neck motion before and after to see if the manipulation improves movement patterns.
