NCT07484555
This assessor-blinded randomized controlled trial aims to compare the effects of motor control training, sensor-based biofeedback training using a wearable inertial measurement unit (IMU), and standardized postural correction exercises on mild visual dysfunction in university students with forward head posture (FHP). The trial seeks to establish whether targeted postural rehabilitation can produce measurable improvements in validated visual and sensorimotor outcomes.
NCT07308509
Age, body mass index, and modern technological influences predisposed to high prevalence of postural deviations such as forward head posture and thoracic hyperkyphosis, and rounded shoulders among school-aged children. The comprehensive integration of developmental and biomechanical perspectives on these adaptations is limited Upper-body postural adaptations reflect a complex interplay between developmental growth and biomechanical loading. Regular posture assessment in schools and clinical settings is crucial for early detection and culturally tailored prevention. Future longitudinal and cross-cultural studies are essential to establish normative postural values and clarify causal pathways across populations
NCT06864780
This study aims to compare different posture correction exercises to see which is most effective in improving forward head posture (FHP) in people who frequently use smartphones and laptops. FHP occurs when the head leans forward, putting extra strain on the neck and shoulders, leading to discomfort and pain. With the increasing use of digital devices, many individuals experience posture-related issues without realizing their long-term effects. This study will assess the impact of specific exercises, such as chin tucks and neck isometric holds, in realigning the head and relieving discomfort. The research will involve 56 participants aged 18-40 who use their devices for at least 2-3 hours daily. Participants will perform targeted exercises over four weeks, and improvements in posture and pain levels will be measured using a standardized scale. The study aims to determine whether structured posture correction exercises can help alleviate FHP and improve overall well-being in frequent digital device users.
NCT07039565
* Due to the heavy use of smartphones among adolescents the cervical spine destabilizes and moves forward, so do the vital structures (nerves, arteries, veins) within the neck undergo torsion, stretch and compression including the autonomic nervous system nerves (which can cause dysfunction in heart rate, digestion, breathing among other symptoms). * Forward head posture (FHP) puts more compressive strain on the cervical spine's tissues, especially the ligaments and facet joints. Because FHP weakens the respiratory muscles, it has a significant impact on respiratory function. Static balance may be negatively impacted by FHP. * FHP is effectively treated by a proper and suitable physical therapy program.
NCT06699888
The aim of this research is to find out the effect of Cervicothoracic Junction Manipulation on neck Proprioception in individuals with Forward Head Posture. A Randomized controlled trials done at Barki Advance Physiotherapy Center. The sample size was 36. The subjects were divided in two groups, 18 subjects in control group and 16 in experimental (Cervicothoracic Manipulation) group. Study duration is of 6 months after the ethical approval. Sampling technique applied was non probability connivance sampling technique. Only 18-45 years individuals with forward head posture, craniovertebral angle less than 53° degrees and Joint position error, an average of \>4.5◦ error in rotation or extension direction were included. Tools used in the study are Craniovertebral Angle (CVA) and Joint Position Error Test (JPE).
NCT06803264
Title: Effectiveness of Activity Oriented Therapy and Traditional Therapy in Cervical Discopathic Pain Syndrome Procedures: You will be asked to complete a form containing questions characterizing the study group and several questionnaires before starting treatment, such as: NDI, CESD-R, STAI and the NRS scale. A photo of the head and shoulder area will also be taken in a front and side standing position. After completing the two-week treatment, you will be asked again to complete questionnaires and pose for photos. You will be informed about a follow-up visit 3 months after the end of therapy, during which you will be asked for the last time to complete questionnaires and pose for a photo. Benefits: There are no direct benefits to you other than participating in a therapy more commonly used for cervical pain syndromes and the opportunity to discuss your experience with neck pain with a specialist. The information we obtain will help scientists better understand the problem of treating neck pain. Risk: There are no physical risks to you while conducting this research. All information obtained from you will be anonymous. Your name and image will not be used in this study or reports. Confidentiality: All research records will be confidential and appropriately secured. Records will only be published with your consent or by court order or as required by law. Any publication resulting from this research will not use identifying information, such as your name or likeness. Freedom to opt out: Participation in the study is completely voluntary and free of charge. You may withdraw from this study at any time without any consequences.
NCT05032274
The purpose of this investigator-initiated study is 1) to investigate correlation between cervical spine joint position error (JPE) and postural stability in asymptomatic older adults with forward head posture (FHP), 2) to examine the effect of a home-based exercise program on visual reliance and cervical spine proprioception for postural stability in asymptomatic older adults with FHP, 3) to study the effect of immediate postural correction on cervical spine JPE and active range of motion (AROM), and 4) to determine participant post-intervention perception of changes in FHP, postural stability and effect on quality of life.
NCT04723511
This study aims at investigating the effects of application of twelve sessions of Global Postural Re-education Technique (GPR) and Kendall Exercises (KE) on Craniovertebral angle (CVA), Gaze Angle (GA), Shoulders Angle (SA), Pain, functional abilities, Range of Motion, stability of sense of position, cervical muscle strength and endurance, Spinal mobility, and Chest Expansion.
NCT06139146
Upper cross syndrome (UCS) is a common muscles related postural disorder which is increasing every new day that is affecting the health related quality of life. It is most prevalent amongst the individuals who work at computers or laptops, or on desks. The UCS is caused by poor posture. Weak core musculature leads to poor body posture causing chronic degenerative changes and disturbing body alignment and body equilibrium. Core stability exercises (CSE) are a good strategy to improve body posture. The purpose of this study is to determine the effects of muscle energy technique (MET) combined with the strengthening of deep neck flexors with and without core stability exercise to manage Upper Cross Syndrome (UCS) patients.

This study aims to determine the effect of combining diaphragmatic exercises with cervical retraction exercise on pain, disability, active range of motions of cervical spine and craniovertebral angle in individuals with forward head posture.
NCT06108752
The aim of the study is to compare the effect of scapular stabilization versus thoracic extension exercises on pain, disability, range of motion, and cranio-vertebral angle in young adults with Text Neck Syndrome.
NCT05274711

The goal of the study is to compare various methods of correcting forward head posture in elderly subjects. In particular, we will contrast two methods: the conventional program, which aims to restore muscle balance, and the Chiropractic BioPhysics (CBP) rehabilitation program, which relies on stretching the viscous and plastic elements of the longitudinal ligament and intervertebral disc in addition to effectively stretching the soft tissue throughout the entire body.
