Target intelligence / Profile preview

Cervical stiffness

Overview

Cervical stiffness refers to decreased flexibility or increased resistance to movement in the neck, commonly manifesting as difficulty turning, flexing, or extending the neck[3][5][9]. It is typically a symptom rather than a specific disease or molecular entity, with causes ranging from muscle strain, poor posture, arthritis, and trauma to potentially serious conditions such as meningitis[9][5][3]. "Cervical stiffness" is not a molecular or receptor target, but a clinical finding indicating an underlying musculoskeletal, neurological, or infectious process.
