This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This trial is testing whether physical therapy delivered online can work just as well as face-to-face physical therapy for people with chronic neck pain. Both approaches include therapeutic exercises and education to help you understand why your neck hurts and how to manage it. The study wants to see if online therapy—which is more convenient for many people—produces the same improvement in pain, movement, and function.
Many people with chronic neck pain struggle to access in-person physical therapy because of cost, travel time, or lack of nearby clinics. This trial exists to find out whether delivering the same proven treatment online can give patients the same benefits while removing those barriers.

You will be assigned to one of two groups: either online therapy sessions or in-person clinic visits. Either way, you'll attend three sessions per week for six weeks with a physical therapist. The sessions will include guided exercises for your neck and shoulder muscles, plus education about pain and how your nervous system works. If you're in the online group, you'll use a digital platform to connect with your therapist from home; if you're in the clinic group, you'll visit in person for supervised treatment.
