NCT ID NCT07486232
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether a 4-week program of postural exercises or kinesio taping can reduce chronic neck pain and improve balance and well-being in office workers who sit at desks for at least 6 hours a day. Forty participants will be split into three groups: exercise, taping, or no treatment. Researchers will measure pain, disability, balance, and quality of life before and after the program.

Active substance
postural exercises and kinesio taping
What this could lead to
If successful, this could point toward simple, non-drug ways to manage chronic neck pain in desk workers.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial with only 40 participants and no blinding, so results may not apply widely. The interventions are low-risk but may not outperform no treatment.
