Rehab for Baby Neck Tightness: In-Person vs. Video
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Genetic & congenital clinical trials.
This study compares in-person physical therapy versus video-based therapy at home for babies with a tight neck muscle (torticollis). The goal is to see if remote therapy works as well as coming to the clinic, so families can have more flexible options.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your baby is 0 to 6 months old

- The torticollis is mild to moderate (Grade 1 to 3)
- Your baby does not have a flat spot on the head (plagiocephaly)

This study tests whether Kinesio Taping, a special supportive tape, can help improve neck motion in children with Congenital Muscular Torticollis. If your child has this condition and is otherwise healthy, this treatment might be an option.
This trial compares two types of remote therapy (live vs. recorded sessions) for infants born early or with low birth weight who are at risk for developmental delays. It aims to see which approach helps improve motor skills and brain development.
This study tests whether a weight shift training can help babies with congenital muscular torticollis (a tight neck muscle that causes the head to tilt) improve symmetry in how they bear weight on their arms while lying on their stomach. It may help with neck and arm 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 trial compares doing neck exercises at home through video calls (telerehabilitation) versus in-person sessions with a therapist. It aims to see which method better reduces pain, helps you stick with exercises, and improves daily function for moderate neck pain from cervical spondylosis.
This study uses a smartphone app to help parents check their baby's head shape and neck movement early on. The goal is to spot and prevent conditions like torticollis (tight neck muscles) and plagiocephaly (flat head) before they become a problem.
