Neck curve linked to pain and body awareness in new study
NCT ID NCT07215819
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at 76 adults with chronic neck pain to see if the curve of their neck spine is related to how much pain they feel and how aware they are of their neck. Participants filled out questionnaires about disability and body awareness, and researchers measured their neck alignment on X-rays. The goal was to better understand these connections, not to test a treatment.
