Neck muscle focus methods study for adults 18-35
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This trial tests whether certain focus methods can change how neck muscles activate. It may help young adults with a forward head posture (small craniovertebral angle).
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- Aged 18 to 35 years old
- Have a forward head posture (craniovertebral angle less than 50 degrees)
- Willing to avoid other treatments during the study

- Body mass index (BMI) under 25
- No history of neck injuries or surgeries, chronic headaches, or conditions affecting balance or muscle control

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 trial compares two types of exercises — thoracic expansion and dynamic neuromuscular stabilization — to see which works better for fixing forward head posture. If you are between 18 and 40 and have a forward head posture, this study may help you improve your posture and reduce neck strain.
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 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 tests whether the Feldenkrais method (gentle movement lessons) can improve forward head posture in people who sit at a desk for long hours. You may join if you are 18–65, have forward head posture, and spend at least 4 hours daily at a desk.
