NCT ID NCT07494734
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jul 24, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looks at whether adding manual therapy (hands-on treatment) to standard physical therapy can better reduce pain and improve daily life in people with chronic mechanical neck pain. About 30 adults aged 18-65 with neck pain lasting at least 3 months will receive 10 sessions over 5 weeks. Researchers will measure pain, neck movement, disability, and quality of life to compare the combined approach against physical therapy alone.
