Nonspecific neck pain is a common musculoskeletal condition among office workers and students, often associated with poor posture, prolonged sitting, and repetitive strain. It leads to reduced muscle endurance, impaired functional capacity, and decreased quality of life. Early and effective management strategies are essential to prevent chronicity and disability.\n\nA total of 51 participants will be recruited and randomly assigned into three groups: Group 1 will receive PRT combined with a standardized home exercise program, Group 2 will receive İASTM combined with the same home exercise program, and Group 3 will serve as the control group receiving only conventional home exercise. The interventions will be delivered over a period of 4 weeks, with three sessions per week, under the supervision of trained physiotherapists. The home exercise program includes stretching, strengthening, and posture correction exercises designed to support cervical spine health.\n\nThe primary outcomes of the study are cervical muscle endurance and functional performance, measured using validated clinical tests. Secondary outcomes include pain intensity assessed by the Visual Analog Scale (VAS), functional disability measured by the Neck Disability Index (NDI), health-related quality of life assessed by the SF-12 questionnaire, and work-related performance indicators. Assessments will be conducted at baseline and after 4 weeks of intervention. Randomization and blinding procedures will be applied to minimize bias, and standardized protocols will ensure consistency across groups.\n\nThe main objective of this study is to determine whether the early application of PRT or İASTM, in combination with home exercise, provides superior improvements in cervical muscle endurance, pain reduction, and functional outcomes compared to exercise alone. By comparing these two mobilization techniques, the study aims to contribute evidence-based knowledge to physiotherapy practice and guide clinicians in selecting effective manual therapy approaches for nonspecific neck pain. The findings are expected to support clinical decision-making, improve patient care, and enhance rehabilitation strategies for individuals suffering from neck pain in occupational and daily life contexts.",[27,28],"Neck Pain Musculoskeletal","Nonspecific Neck Pain",[28,30,31,32,33,34,35,36],"Manual Therapy","Positional Release Technique","Instrument-Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization","Cervical Muscle Endurance","Physiotherapy","Randomized Controlled Trial","Office Workers","RECRUITING","2026-05-25",{"date":40,"type":41},"2026-05-28","ACTUAL",{"date":43,"type":41},"2026-03-16",{"date":45,"type":21},"2027-01-16",{"name":47,"class":48},"Istanbul University - Cerrahpasa","OTHER",1,{"id":51,"slug":52,"hasResults":11,"nctId":53,"briefTitle":54,"officialTitle":55,"acronym":56,"eligibilityCriteria":57,"healthyVolunteers":11,"sex":16,"minAge":17,"maxAge":58,"enrollmentInfo":59,"targetDuration":4,"studyType":22,"phases":61,"briefSummary":62,"conditions":63,"keywords":67,"overallStatus":37,"whyStopped":4,"lastUpdateSubmitDate":74,"lastUpdatePostDateStruct":75,"startDateStruct":77,"completionDateStruct":79,"leadSponsor":81,"locationsCount":49},"100635683","osteopathic-manipulative-treatment-vs-physiotherapy-in-cervicocranial-dysfunction-100635683","NCT07555873","Osteopathic Manipulative Treatment vs Physiotherapy in Cervicocranial Dysfunction","Comparative Effects of Osteopathic Manipulative Treatment and Standard Physiotherapy on Dizziness, Headache Impact, Neck Disability, and Psychological Stress in Patients With Cervicocranial Dysfunction: A Randomized Controlled Trial","OMT-CCD","Inclusion Criteria:\n\n* Participants will be eligible for inclusion in the study if they meet the following criteria:\n\n  * Age between 18 and 65 years.\n  * Presence of cervicocranial symptoms for at least three months, indicating a chronic condition.\n  * Neck pain with or without associated headache.\n  * Dizziness associated with neck movement or cervical position.\n  * Clinical findings consistent with cervicocranial dysfunction, based on clinical examination.\n  * Ability to understand and complete standardized clinical questionnaires used in the study.\n  * Willingness to participate in the study and provision of written informed consent.\n\nExclusion Criteria:\n\n* Participants will be excluded from the study if they present with any of the following conditions:\n\n  * Clinically confirmed vestibular disorders.\n  * Central neurological disorders that may influence dizziness or balance.\n  * Recent severe trauma to the cervical spine.\n  * History of cervical spine surgery.\n  * Systemic inflammatory diseases or serious spinal pathologies.\n  * Presence of red flags related to the cervical spine identified during clinical screening.\n  * Participation in concurrent intensive physiotherapy or rehabilitation treatment during the study period.","65 Years",{"count":60,"type":21},50,[24],"This study aims to compare the effects of osteopathic manipulative treatment and standard physiotherapy in patients with cervicocranial dysfunction.

Despite numerous studies, finding effective treatment strategies has been challenging. One possible reason for this is that treatments may not have been tested on the specific groups of people who would benefit most. A method was developed to identify people with neck pain who are likely to see significant improvements from a manipulation technique used by physical therapists, called cervical spine thrust joint manipulation. The investigators believe that patients identified as likely responders to cervical spine manipulation will show greater improvements in disability. The investigators aim to test whether this method works with different patients and therapists across the country through a multicenter randomized clinical trial. In this study, 160 patients with primary complaints of neck pain will be enrolled from 9 clinical sites. Designed with stringent criteria for inclusion, this study is a testament to our commitment to participant safety and the effectiveness of the treatment. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of two groups: (1) one group will receive 2 sessions of cervical spine manipulation followed by 3 sessions of exercise, and (2) the other group will receive 2 sessions of gentle hands-on treatment followed by 3 sessions of exercise. The primary goal is to measure changes in disability 4 weeks after starting treatment, with follow-ups after one week, 4 weeks, 3 months, and 6 months to assess both immediate and long-term effects. By providing crucial data on the reliability of our method in identifying patients who will benefit most from cervical spine manipulation, this study has the potential to significantly enhance decision-making leading to rapid improvement.

With pain being such a broad issue in the ED, the ED is expected to deliver safe and effective treatment of pain. However, with the current ongoing opioid epidemic, it is important to consider other methods, both pharmacologic and nonpharmacologic, of pain reduction. Jazz music specifically has been demonstrated to have therapeutic effects on pain that can be used to lower the quantity of opioids administered to patients.\n\nNon-pharmacological interventions in the emergency department for pain typically consist of splinting an injury, applying heat or cold, or various distractions following initial and sequential pain assessment. Pharmacological interventions for pain in the Emergency Department involve the administration of acetaminophen, muscle relaxers, topical anesthetics, opioids, to name a few.\n\nIn the emergency department (ED), providers are increasingly hesitant to prescribe opioids over the past decade due to the current opioid epidemic, in which there is an increasing proportion of people that develop an addiction to opioids, including those that are prescribed to them for pain management.. While emergency medicine providers' decrease in opioid prescriptions pertains to their implementation of opioid-prescribing policies, little evidence has been found demonstrating a direct link in these policies to decreases in substance misuse. Consequently, providers find themselves needing to become ingenious in their approach to pain in patients through the integration of pharmacologic and non-pharmacologic mediums of analgesia.\n\nA recent randomized controlled trial (RCT) from Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston sought to identify the qualitative responses from patients in the ED following the arbitrary distribution of either supervised or unsupervised music therapy over a time period of 4 hours. The initial results found that, generally speaking, music therapy may lower reported pain and anxiety scores. Furthermore, stronger results were identified in case subjects with higher initial reports of pain via a pain catastrophizing scale, implying that a higher baseline of pain results in more relief from music therapy. One shortcoming in the article is the lack of analysis with reported results and the biopsychosocial model of pain. Heavy emphasis is placed on the psychological and social components of pain in the Brigham and Women's article through the implementation of the Pain Catastrophizing Scale and Brief Pain Inventory scoring done during the RCT, but no focus on linked biological changes in the subjects through the music therapy intervention.\n\nThe purpose of this study is to (i.) assess the effect of a video training about musical pain management followed by a 15-minute music listening intervention on self-reported pain scores in ED patients with neck and back pain. The investigators also aim to (ii.) evaluate patient satisfaction and emotional response following the intervention. Opioid medications are commonly used to reduce substantial pain, and music therapy has been found to reduce associated pain and anxiety in patients, then the use of music therapy could be an aid in medicine to reduce opioid intake. The investigators hypothesize that the usage of a training on musical pain management combined with a specified jazz musical intervention will produce a significantly lower measured pain score in comparison to a video on mindful pain management followed by the patient's choice of activities.",[218,27,219],"Music Therapy for Pain and Sedation","Back Pain",[221,222,223,224,225,226,227,228,229,230,231,99,232,233,234,235,236],"Music therapy","Music pain management","Musical pain managament","Opioid epidemic","Therapeutic medicine","Emergency Medicine","Emergency Room","Waiting Room","Music intervention","Jazz music","back pain","musculoskeletal","musculoskeletal pain","pain","pain management","music","2026-01-29",{"date":239,"type":41},"2026-02-06",{"date":241,"type":21},"2026-02-15",{"date":243,"type":21},"2026-04-30",{"name":245,"class":48},"University of California, Irvine",{"id":247,"slug":248,"hasResults":11,"nctId":249,"briefTitle":250,"officialTitle":251,"acronym":4,"eligibilityCriteria":252,"healthyVolunteers":119,"sex":16,"minAge":120,"maxAge":253,"enrollmentInfo":254,"targetDuration":4,"studyType":22,"phases":255,"briefSummary":256,"conditions":257,"keywords":260,"overallStatus":150,"whyStopped":4,"lastUpdateSubmitDate":263,"lastUpdatePostDateStruct":264,"startDateStruct":266,"completionDateStruct":268,"leadSponsor":270,"locationsCount":4},"100606664","sleep-hygiene-plus-physiotherapy-for-sleep-and-disability-in-chronic-neck-pain-100606664","NCT07178496","Sleep Hygiene Plus Physiotherapy for Sleep and Disability in Chronic Neck Pain","Effect of Integrating Sleep Hygiene Techniques With Physiotherapy Exercise in Improving Sleep Quality and Disability in Patients With Chronic Neck Pain","Inclusion Criteria\n\nParticipants will be eligible for the study if they meet the following conditions:\n\n1.

These exercises aim to reduce pain, restore function, and improve overall physical performance.\n\nSleep Hygiene Education - A structured educational module covering principles of healthy sleep habits, including maintaining consistent sleep-wake schedules, creating an optimal sleep environment, limiting stimulants before bedtime, and adopting relaxation strategies to promote better sleep initiation and maintenance.\n\nBy combining these approaches, the intervention addresses not only the physical impairments associated with chronic neck pain but also the psychosocial and behavioral factors contributing to poor sleep quality.\n\nOutcome Measures:\n\nPrimary Outcomes: Sleep quality, assessed using validated tools such as the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI).\n\nSecondary Outcomes: Disability and functional limitations, measured by the Neck Disability Index (NDI), along with pain intensity assessed using a Visual Analog Scale (VAS).\n\nFatigue will be assessed by fatigue inventory index\n\nStudy Hypothesis: The combined intervention of sleep hygiene education and physiotherapy exercise will lead to greater improvements in sleep quality and reductions in disability and fatigue compared to physiotherapy exercise alone.\n\nClinical Significance: If effective, this integrative approach may provide a cost-effective, non-pharmacological management strategy for patients with chronic neck pain, targeting both physical and behavioral contributors to their condition.",[126,27,258,259],"Sleep Disturbances","Fatigue, Mental",[261,262,99],"sleep quaity","sleep hygiene","2025-09-16",{"date":265,"type":41},"2025-09-17",{"date":267,"type":21},"2025-10-15",{"date":269,"type":21},"2026-05-02",{"name":271,"class":48},"Al-Azhar University",{"id":273,"slug":274,"hasResults":11,"nctId":275,"briefTitle":276,"officialTitle":277,"acronym":4,"eligibilityCriteria":278,"healthyVolunteers":119,"sex":16,"minAge":4,"maxAge":4,"enrollmentInfo":279,"targetDuration":4,"studyType":22,"phases":281,"briefSummary":282,"conditions":283,"keywords":288,"overallStatus":37,"whyStopped":4,"lastUpdateSubmitDate":295,"lastUpdatePostDateStruct":296,"startDateStruct":298,"completionDateStruct":300,"leadSponsor":302,"locationsCount":304},"100340036","neck-and-low-back-pain-in-medical-students-at-the-university-of-the-west-indies-mona-jamaica-100340036","NCT03707288","Neck and Low Back Pain in Medical Students at The University of the West Indies, Mona, Jamaica","The Prevalence of Neck and Low Back Pain in Medical Students at The University of the West Indies, Mona, Jamaica","Inclusion Criteria:\n\n1.
