ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is looking to see how a special type of training, called kinetic control training, can help reduce pain and improve neck movement for people with a condition known as symptomatic forward head posture (FHP). FHP is where the head tilts forward, which can cause discomfort and affect how well the neck functions. The study will focus on adults aged 18 to 40 who have had neck pain for at least three months and have a specific measure of head posture.

To participate, individuals must have a body mass index (BMI) of less than 30 and a pain rating between three and eight on a scale from zero to ten. However, people with certain neck injuries, surgeries, or other specific health issues won't be eligible. If someone qualifies and chooses to join, they can expect to engage in exercises aimed at improving their neck and shoulder control, with the hope of easing their pain and enhancing their overall neck health. This trial is not yet recruiting participants, so there will be more information available soon for those interested.
