NCT ID NCT07617623
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 30, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study compares two ways to treat chronic non-specific neck pain: telerehabilitation (online sessions) and supervised clinic-based rehab, both combined with pain neuroscience education. Researchers will measure pain intensity, fear of movement, and daily function in 45 adults aged 18-40. The goal is to see if online rehab can be a convenient alternative to in-person care.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- telerehabilitation with pain neuroscience education
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could show that online rehab is as effective as in-clinic sessions for managing chronic neck pain, making treatment more accessible.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage trial with only 45 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The study compares two approaches but does not test a new drug or cure.
