Summary

This study looks at whether adding mechanical traction to standard physical therapy can reduce pain, disability, and improve sleep in women with chronic neck pain. Forty-four women aged 30–45 with neck pain lasting over six months will be split into two groups: one gets traction plus therapy, the other gets therapy alone. Treatment lasts six weeks, three times per week. Researchers will measure pain, neck movement, disability, sleep quality, and insomnia.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
mechanical traction (device)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a simple, non-drug way to reduce neck pain and improve sleep quality for people with chronic neck pain.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial with only 44 women, so results may not apply to everyone. The traction force is low and may not provide lasting relief.
