Recruiting now · Not applicable
Conditions studied: Neck Pain
In brief
Nonspecific neck pain, defined as pain without a specific underlying pathology, is a common musculoskeletal disorder that affects a significant proportion of the global population. Neck pain often results in considerable discomfort and functional limitations, impacting individuals' quality of life and ability to perform daily tasks. Estimates suggest that up to 30% of adults experience neck pain annually. The condition ranks among the top causes of disability worldwide, contributing to substantial personal and societal burdens, including lost work productivity and increased healthcare costs.
