Response to Massage in Neck Pain (NCT06224829)
Characterizing Responses to Massage in Individuals With Neck Pain
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
This study is interested in whether baseline measures of pain sensitivity i.e. the amount of pressure required to feel pain predicts pain relief following a pain inducing massage AND whether pain relief following a pain inducing massage is different than a pain free massage or placing your hand in a cold water bath. Participants with neck pain will be randomly assigned to receive a pain inducing massage, pain free massage, or to place their hand in a cold water bath.
