NCT ID NCT06353802
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at whether people with long-term neck pain have a different sense of where their lower back is in space. Researchers measured back position sense using an iPhone app and compared it to pain levels in 67 adults. The goal was to understand the connection, not to test a treatment.
