Summary

This study tested whether virtual reality (VR) exercises could help people with long-term neck pain move better and feel less discomfort. Forty adults with chronic non-specific neck pain took part. They used VR headsets to do special head and neck movements in fun, interactive environments. The goal was to improve flexibility and reduce pain without relying on traditional treatments.
