Neck pain relief with added muscle therapy
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Pain clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have had neck pain for more than 3 months
- You have visited an orthopedist (bone doctor) for your neck pain
- You have a forward head posture (your head sits forward relative to your shoulders)
- You do not have other serious neck conditions like fractures, surgery, or nerve problems

This study compares two hands-on treatments for neck pain and forward head posture. You may receive either muscle energy technique or Mulligan mobilization, both aiming to reduce pain and improve neck movement.
This trial compares two non-surgical treatments for ongoing neck pain: biofeedback exercises, which use sensors to help you learn to relax and strengthen neck muscles, and the Mulligan method, a hands-on technique that improves movement and posture. It aims to see which is better for reducing pain, improving mobility, and correcting posture in women.
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 therapy techniques (Kaltenborn and Mulligan mobilization) to improve forward head posture and reduce neck pain. Participants will receive one of these treatments and their progress will be tracked.
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 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.
