Electrical therapy for forward head posture in young adults
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This study tests whether electrical stimulation can improve the strength and function of neck muscles in people with forward head posture. If you are a young adult with this posture, you may be able to join and get a treatment that could help correct your posture and reduce discomfort.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

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.
