Summary

This study tests whether doing neck exercises via live video calls is as good as going to a clinic for chronic neck pain. Sixty-eight adults aged 20-40 with neck pain lasting at least three months will be split into three groups: one doing exercises at home with a physiotherapist on video, one doing them in person, and one doing a mix of both. The goal is to see which method reduces pain and disability best over six weeks.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Real-time video-guided neck exercises (tele-rehabilitation), face-to-face supervised exercises, and a mixed model
What this could lead to
If successful, this could show that home-based video exercise sessions are as effective as in-person physiotherapy for chronic neck pain, offering a more convenient and accessible treatment option.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial with only 68 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The study relies on self-reported pain and disability, which can be subjective.
