Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Summary

This study tests whether a special exercise approach called Dynamic Neuromuscular Stabilization (DNS) can reduce chronic neck pain better than standard neck exercises or usual physiotherapy. Forty-five adults with neck pain lasting at least 12 weeks will be randomly assigned to one of three groups. Researchers will measure pain, neck movement, and daily function over 12 weeks to see which approach works best.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Dynamic Neuromuscular Stabilization (DNS) exercises
What this could lead to
If this works, it could point toward a more effective exercise approach for managing chronic neck pain without medication.
What could go wrong
This is a small pilot study with only 45 people, so results may not apply to everyone. It is too early to know if DNS exercises are truly better than other treatments.

Exclusion Criteria: - * Cancer * Patients with existing or previous fractures in the cervical spine * Patients who have undergone surgery on the cervical spine * Patients who, in addition to neck pain, also have or have had dizziness or balance disorders * People with osteoporosis * Fibromyalgia * People with diagnosed rheumatoid arthritis * People with red flags identified during a thorough physical examination * Patients with neurological deficits identified during a thorough physical examination * Participants who have undergone physiotherapy within the last 3 months.
