Neck therapy may soothe IBS symptoms, small study hopes
NCT ID NCT07560345
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether a series of gentle, passive neck movements (called neurodynamic mobilization of the vagus nerve) can reduce symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) in women. Thirty-two women aged 20-45 with mild to moderate IBS will receive the treatment for 6 weeks. Researchers will measure changes in symptom severity and quality of life before and after the intervention.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
neurodynamic mobilization of vagus nerve (a series of passive neck movements)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a non-drug, hands-on approach to reduce IBS symptoms and improve quality of life in women.
What could go wrong
This is a very small, early-stage study with only 32 women, so results may not apply to everyone. The treatment is experimental and may not provide significant relief.
