Sponsor's own description
This randomized controlled trial investigates the acute effects of transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) on passive cervical muscle stiffness (MyotonPro "dynamic stiffness", N/m) and pain (0-10 VAS) in adults with chronic/mechanical neck pain. Participants will be allocated 1:1 to TENS or control/sham. Outcomes are measured immediately before and immediately after a single 15-minute session.
