Neck alignment study for athletes
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study looks at how correcting forward head posture affects brain and muscle signals in athletes. It may help understand how neck alignment influences performance and recovery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are an athlete (a student athlete).
- Your head sits forward of your shoulders by more than 15 millimeters (about half an inch).
- Your neck curvature is within a normal range (less than 25 degrees).
- You have not had any recent muscle or joint injuries, surgeries, or pain in the last three months.

This study tests whether correcting forward head posture can help relieve jaw pain and improve jaw function. If you have jaw joint problems (TMD) and also tend to hold your head forward, you may be a candidate.
This study tests whether correcting forward head posture improves blood flow to the brain while doing two tasks at once (like walking and talking) in people with neck pain. If you're a young adult with neck pain from poor posture, you might benefit from learning posture correction techniques.
This study compares two types of training for university students with forward head posture: strengthening deep neck flexors (muscles at the front of the neck) and motor learning based on brain plasticity (teaching your brain new ways to control posture). The goal is to see which approach works better for improving head alignment.
This study tests if initial neck exercises can improve how well you sense your neck's position (proprioception) and reduce pain in people with forward head posture and chronic neck pain.
This study looks at how well planned surgery corrects neck (cervical) deformities and how the results change over time. It mainly involves standard pre- and follow-up imaging and study questionnaires to compare clinical and X-ray outcomes.
This study compares two hands-on therapy techniques (Kaltenborn and Mulligan mobilization) to improve forward head posture and reduce neck pain. Participants will receive one of these treatments and their progress will be tracked.
