Can a video call replace the physio clinic for neck pain?
NCT ID NCT07679373
First seen Jul 01, 2026 · Last updated Jul 02, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether doing physiotherapy at home through live video calls works as well as going to a clinic for people with moderate neck pain from cervical spondylosis. Fifty-two adults aged 45-64 will be split into two groups: one gets in-person sessions, the other gets real-time video-guided exercises. Both groups follow the same 6-week program, and researchers will measure pain, daily function, and how well patients stick to their exercises.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- telerehabilitation
- What this could lead to
- If effective, telerehabilitation could offer a convenient, accessible alternative to in-person physiotherapy for managing neck pain and disability.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage trial with 52 participants, so results may not apply broadly. Telerehab may lack the hands-on adjustments of in-person care.
