First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether a 6-week exercise program done via video calls could help people with long-term neck pain. Fifty adults with neck pain for at least 3 months took part. They did guided exercises online four times a week. Researchers measured pain, disability, sleep quality, and mood to see if this approach works.
