Summary

This study tested whether Pilates exercises could help violinists with neck pain that is not due to a specific injury. Thirty violinists aged 18–50 were assigned to either mat or reformer Pilates. Researchers measured sleep quality, neck disability, and pain-related disability before and after the program.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Pilates exercises (mat and reformer)
What this could lead to
If effective, Pilates could become a simple, drug-free way for musicians to manage neck pain and improve sleep.
What could go wrong
This is a small, completed trial with only 30 participants. Results may not apply to all violinists or other musicians.
