Neck pain study seeks 30 volunteers to test muscle vs. movement techniques
NCT ID NCT07329478
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study compares two types of muscle energy techniques to see which better reduces neck pain and improves muscle strength and endurance. Researchers will enroll 30 adults aged 19-44 with mechanical neck pain. Participants will receive one of the two techniques, and outcomes like pain intensity and muscle function will be measured before and after treatment.
