ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying a treatment called Su Jok Therapy to see if it can help reduce neck pain. Neck pain is a common issue that can significantly affect daily life, especially for people who spend a lot of time sitting at desks or using computers. The trial aims to find out if this alternative therapy, which involves applying pressure to specific points on the hands and feet, can provide relief for those suffering from tension-type or muscle spasm neck pain.

To participate in the study, individuals need to be between 18 and 64 years old, have full use of their thumbs, and be able to actively use their hands. They should also be willing to take part in the research and have neck pain that is not due to any recent surgery in that area. Participants can expect to receive Su Jok Therapy and report on their pain levels before and after treatment to help researchers understand how effective this method may be. This trial could provide valuable insights into non-drug options for managing neck pain.
