Summary

This trial investigates whether SCENAR therapy, a non-invasive electrotherapy device, can improve disability, mobility, and pain in adults with chronic non-specific neck pain lasting at least three months. Participants will receive either active SCENAR sessions or a sham (inactive) device to compare effects. The study focuses on changes in neck-related disability and pain intensity over the treatment period.

What this could mean

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

Active substance: SCENAR device therapy (a non-invasive electrotherapy device applied to the neck)
What this could lead to: If effective, SCENAR therapy could offer a drug-free option to reduce neck pain and disability, potentially reducing reliance on medications.
What could go wrong: This is an early-stage trial with a modest number of participants. The device may not outperform a sham treatment, and results may not apply to all neck pain sufferers.
