Neck pain sufferers: simple exercises may improve your balance

NCT ID NCT07502625

First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study tests whether a program of vestibular rehabilitation exercises can improve balance, reduce dizziness, and ease pain in people with cervical spondylosis (neck arthritis). Sixty-two adults aged 40 to 60 with chronic neck pain and balance issues will be assigned to either the exercise program or standard physical therapy. The goal is to see if these targeted movements help the body's balance system work better.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
vestibular rehabilitation program (exercises for gaze, eye movements, postural stability, vertigo, and daily activities)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could point toward a non-drug way to improve balance and reduce dizziness in people with neck problems.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial with only 62 people, so results may not apply to everyone. The exercises may not help all patients.
