Study Summary

This trial is testing a new device to treat neck pain in active-duty military personnel. The device, called Cervigard, is a neck collar that is worn every day. The goal is to reduce neck pain and improve function.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for active-duty military personnel aged 18-45 with neck pain lasting over 3 months, rated at least a 4 out of 10 on the pain scale. They must have forward head posture and not found relief from conventional treatments. Excluded are those with recent tumors, infections in the neck, generalized disorders affecting vertebrae, healing fractures, spinal deformities or conditions that make participation unsafe.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests the Cervigard Neck Collar's effectiveness and safety in treating posture-related neck pain among military members. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive the collar immediately or after six weeks and will use it daily while their pain, function, and cervical spine alignment are monitored through questionnaires and X-rays over a period of up to twelve weeks.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects may include discomfort from wearing the device, skin irritation under where the collar sits or potential worsening of symptoms if improperly used. However specific side effects haven't been listed as this is an experimental evaluation.
