ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying the effects of two different exercise programs—Bruegger's and Kendall's—on people with Cervical Postural Syndrome, which is a common cause of neck pain linked to poor posture. Both exercise methods aim to improve posture and strengthen the muscles in the neck and shoulders, but they do so in slightly different ways. By comparing these two approaches, researchers hope to find out which one is more effective in helping people feel better and reduce their neck pain.

To participate in this trial, you should be between 20 and 40 years old and not have specific neck or back pain related to previous injuries or surgeries. You should also have some signs of poor posture, like a forward head position, but not severe pain. If you join the trial, you can expect to take part in exercise sessions designed to help improve your posture over time. This study is currently recruiting participants, so if you meet the criteria and are interested, you could contribute to important research that may help others with similar neck issues in the future.
