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.

What this could mean

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.
