ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is looking at two types of treatments—Post Isometric Relaxation and Janda’s Approach—to help people with Upper Crossed Syndrome, a condition where certain muscles around the neck and shoulders become tight and others become weak. This muscle imbalance can cause pain and discomfort in the neck and shoulder area. The Janda Approach focuses on restoring muscle balance by relaxing tight muscles, strengthening weak ones, and improving muscle endurance to support better posture and reduce pain.

Adults between 18 and 50 years old who experience neck pain triggered by certain neck movements or positions may be eligible to join the study. However, people with specific conditions like nerve problems in the neck (cervical radiculopathy), past neck or spine injuries, surgeries, or dizziness related to neck pain would not qualify. Participants can expect to receive treatment aimed at improving muscle balance and reducing discomfort. This study has not started recruiting yet, but it aims to find better ways to help those with this common neck and shoulder problem.
