Pressure vs Visual Biofeedback Training for Forward Head Posture

Is this trial a fit for you?

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

What this trial studies

In this randomized controlled trial, 38 adults with forward head posture will be recruited at two Islamabad hospitals and randomly assigned to either pressure biofeedback training or visual biofeedback training for six weeks (three sessions per week). Baseline neck muscle activation and posture will be recorded, with outcomes measured again after the intervention. The two groups will be compared on pain, functional disability, cervical range of motion, and postural alignment using standard analyses. Data will be analyzed with contemporary statistical methods to determine if one biofeedback modality offers superior benefits.
