Cervigard Neck Collar for Neck Pain
What You Need to Know Before You Apply
What is the purpose of this trial?
This trial tests the Cervigard neck collar, a device designed to help military personnel with posture-related neck pain. The collar supports the neck to reduce pain, improve function, and correct spine curvature. Participants will use the collar regularly and provide feedback on their pain and function, with medical imaging used to measure changes.
Will I have to stop taking my current medications?
The trial information does not specify whether you need to stop taking your current medications. It seems focused on testing the neck collar, so you might be able to continue your usual treatments, but it's best to confirm with the trial organizers.
