A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This study evaluates the effects of visual and pressure biofeedback on pain, disability, and range of motion in young and middle-aged adults with forward head posture. Participants will be randomly assigned to two groups, one receiving pressure biofeedback and the other receiving visual biofeedback, both combined with isometric strengthening and stretching exercises. Each participant will undergo twelve treatment sessions over four weeks, with assessments conducted at the beginning and end of the treatment period to measure outcomes such as pain intensity and cervical range of motion.
