Summary

This study will test whether sensory motor training for neck muscles, combined with nerve gliding exercises, can improve hand grip strength in 50 post-menopausal women with fibromyalgia-related neck pain. Participants will do laser-guided neck movements and nerve stretches for four weeks. Researchers will measure hand strength, arm disability, neck pain, and pressure sensitivity before and after the program.

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

sensory motor neck training and nerve gliding exercises

What this could lead to

If it works, this could offer a simple, drug-free way to improve hand strength and reduce disability in women with fibromyalgia neck pain.

What could go wrong

This is a small, early-stage trial with only 50 participants and no blinding, so results may not be reliable or apply to everyone. The exercises may not provide lasting benefits.
