Comparing in-person vs. remote rehab for babies with neck tightness
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Genetic & congenital, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study compares two types of physical therapy for babies with congenital muscular torticollis (a tight neck muscle causing the head to tilt). One group gets standard in-person therapy, the other does therapy through video calls. The goal is to see if home-based remote sessions can be as effective as clinic visits.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- Your baby is between 0 and 6 months old

- Your baby's condition is rated as mild to moderate (grades 1-3)
- Your baby does not have other conditions like plagiocephaly (flat head), eye-related torticollis, or neck/spine problems that could affect treatment

This study tests whether a special kind of tape (kinesio taping) helps improve neck movement and posture in babies with a condition called congenital muscular torticollis. It may be a comfortable, drug-free way to support your child's neck and help them turn their head more easily.
This study compares two kinds of home-based physical therapy (live video sessions vs. recorded sessions) for babies who were born early or with low birth weight and may have motor delays. The goal is to see which method helps improve your baby's movement and development.
This trial compares three ways to treat chronic neck pain: doing exercises at home with remote guidance, doing them in a clinic with a therapist, or a mix of both. It aims to find which method works best for people with ongoing neck pain.
This study compares doing neck pain rehabilitation at home through video sessions (tele-rehab) versus going to supervised in-person sessions. It aims to see if doing rehab remotely works just as well for people who use computers a lot and have neck pain.
This study tests a new way to measure how far babies can turn their heads, helping doctors better understand and treat a condition where the neck is twisted. It is for infants with torticollis who are already going to a chiropractor.
This study tests a type of therapy that helps babies with a tight neck muscle (congenital muscular torticollis) learn to use both arms evenly while lying on their tummy. It aims to improve symmetry and head control during tummy time.
