First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at how body composition—like muscle and fat percentages—relates to pain, posture, and neck function in people with non-specific neck pain. Researchers will measure 111 adults using body scans, pain pressure tests, and posture assessments. The goal is to find risk factors and improve physical therapy approaches.
