Focus methods and neck muscle activation in young adults
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This study looks at how different types of focus (like paying attention to your muscles vs. the movement itself) affect the muscles in your neck during exercises. It may help improve posture and prevent neck problems in young adults with forward head posture.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 35 years old.
- You have a forward head posture (a small craniovertebral angle, usually under 50 degrees).
- You have not had any neck, back, arm, or leg pain in the last 3 months.
- You have no history of neck injuries or surgeries, and no vision, hearing, balance, or other medical conditions that affect exercise.
- You agree not to receive any other neck treatments during the study.

This study tests whether posture correction exercises improve the electrical activity of neck and jaw muscles in young adults with forward head posture. Participation may help you improve your posture and prevent future jaw or neck issues.
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 trial compares two types of breathing and posture exercises to see which one better helps people with forward head posture. If you join, you will do one of these exercise programs and help doctors learn which is more effective.
This study tests whether adding a muscle relaxation technique to a standard manual therapy helps reduce neck pain and improve posture in people with forward head posture. It may offer better pain relief and easier movement.
This study tests whether electrical stimulation can improve the strength and function of neck muscles in people with forward head posture. If you are a young adult with this posture, you may be able to join and get a treatment that could help correct your posture and reduce discomfort.
