What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.

Completed This study
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.

Summary

This study tested two different treatments for chronic neck pain: neuroscience-based pain education (teaching patients about how the brain processes pain) and myofascial induction (a hands-on technique to release tight muscles). Both were combined with home exercises. Sixty adults with long-term neck pain took part. The goal was to see which approach better reduced pain and improved quality of life.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
neuroscience-based pain education and myofascial induction technique
What this could lead to
If successful, this could point toward better non-drug treatments for chronic neck pain, improving pain and quality of life without medication.
What could go wrong
This is a small, completed trial with only 60 participants. Results may not apply to everyone, and the effects may be modest or not last long.
