Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
Can far-infrared therapy and transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation reduce pain and improve neck range of motion?
Can far-infrared therapy and transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation reduce inflammation?
Researchers will compare three groups:
Group A: control group; Group B: transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation; Group C: far-infrared therapy combined with transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation, to evaluate differences in pain, neck range of motion, and inflammation.
Participants will receive the assigned intervention in the morning and evening for five consecutive days. Outcome measurements will be conducted on the first and fifth days.
