Muscle Energy vs Mulligan for Forward Head Posture
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This study compares two hands-on techniques (muscle energy and Mulligan mobilization) to see which one better helps forward head posture and associated neck pain. Researchers want to know if these methods can reduce pain and improve neck movement.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 45 years old.
- You have nonspecific neck pain that comes with neck movement.
- You have had neck pain for at least the last 3 months.
- Your neck movement is limited or restricted.

This trial tests whether adding a muscle relaxation technique to standard neck therapy can better treat chronic neck pain and forward head posture. If you've had neck pain for over 3 months and seen an orthopedist, this study may offer an extra treatment option.
This study compares two non-drug treatments—special breathing exercises and hands-on manual therapy—to see which works better for fixing forward head posture and reducing neck pain in university students.
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 compares two hands-on treatment methods for forward head posture—a common problem where your head juts forward. Researchers want to see which technique works better at improving your posture and reducing strain on your neck and upper back.
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 whether adding a specialized soft-tissue technique (IASTM) to standard physical therapy helps improve forward head posture better than therapy alone. Forward head posture is when your head juts forward, which can cause neck pain and stiffness.
