NCT ID NCT07292129

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study looked at whether smartphone addiction makes cervicogenic headache (head pain that starts from the neck) worse. Researchers compared 78 adults with and without this headache type, using surveys to measure phone use, pain, mood, sleep, and quality of life. The goal was to understand the link between heavy phone use and headache symptoms, not to test a treatment.
