NCT ID NCT06529991
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at how a 5-minute self-massage technique on the upper neck muscles might affect the chain of muscles and connective tissue running down the back. Thirty adults participated, and researchers measured changes in muscle stiffness, pain sensitivity, ankle movement, and foot pressure. The goal was to understand connections in the body, not to treat any condition.
