Posture correction for neck pain and brain blood flow
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This study tests whether correcting forward head posture improves blood flow to the brain while doing two tasks at once (like walking and talking) in people with neck pain. If you're a young adult with neck pain from poor posture, you might benefit from learning posture correction techniques.
