Abstract Background Current evidence on electrotherapies for the management of chronic neck pain is either lacking or conflicting. New therapeutic devices being introduced to the market should be investigated for their effectiveness and efficacy. The ENAR Electro Neuro Adaptive Regulator therapy device combines Western biofeedback with Eastern energy medicine. Methods A small preliminary randomised and controlled single-blinded trial was conducted on 24 participants ten males 14 females between the ages of 18 to 50 years median age of 40.5 Consent was obtained and participants were randomly allocated to one of three groups - ENAR Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation TENS or control therapy - to test the hypothesis that ENAR therapy would result in superior pain reduction disability and improvements in neck function compared with TENS or control intervention. The treatment regimen included twelve 15-minute treatment sessions over a six week period .
