ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying how cervical stabilization exercises can help reduce neck pain and improve strength and movement in the neck for people who work in sedentary office jobs. The researchers want to see if these exercises can make a difference in how much pain participants feel, how well they can move their necks, their sense of body position (called proprioception), and their grip strength.

To participate, individuals need to be between 25 and 35 years old, both men and women can join, and they must have had neck pain for more than three months. Participants should also be able to follow instructions during the study. However, those with certain health issues, like serious heart or lung problems, recent neck injuries, or previous major neck surgeries, won't be eligible. If you join, you'll be part of a study that could help improve how we manage neck pain in office workers. Please note that the trial is not recruiting participants yet, so keep an eye out for updates if you're interested.
