Forward head posture (FHP) is a common musculoskeletal disorder characterized by a shift of the head forward in relation to the vertical axis of the body.

The incidence of FHP has increased significantly due to sedentary lifestyles and prolonged use of electronic devices, making it a pressing problem for healthcare providers.'}, 'eligibilityModule': {'sex': 'ALL', 'stdAges': ['ADULT'], 'maximumAge': '45 Years', 'minimumAge': '30 Years', 'healthyVolunteers': False, 'eligibilityCriteria': 'Inclusion Criteria:\n\n* Participants falling in this category would be recruited into the study.\n* Adults aged 30-45 years with diagnosed forward head posture.\n* Chronic nonspecific neck pain for at least 3 months.\n* FHP diagnosed via craniovertebral angle measurement.\n\nExclusion Criteria:\n\n* Participants fall in this category would be excluded of the study.\n* History of cervical spine surgery or trauma.\n* Severe cervical instability or neurological deficits.\n* Systemic diseases affecting posture.'}, 'identificationModule': {'nctId': 'NCT06927167', 'briefTitle': 'Effect of Exercises on Forward Head Posture', 'organization': {'class': 'OTHER', 'fullName': 'Riphah International University'}, 'officialTitle': 'The Effect of Chin Tuck Exercises and Cervical Extension Exercises on Forward Head Posture', 'orgStudyIdInfo': {'id': 'REC-01008 Muhammad Haris'}}, 'armsInterventionsModule': {'armGroups': [{'type': 'EXPERIMENTAL', 'label': 'Chin tuck exercises', 'description': 'Participants will perform supervised chin tuck exercises targeting deep cervical flexors', 'interventionNames': ['Other: Chin Tuck Exercise']}, {'type': 'EXPERIMENTAL', 'label': 'Seated cervical extension exercises', 'description': 'Perform seated cervical extension exercises focusing on activating posterior neck muscles', 'interventionNames': ['Other: Seated cervical extension exercises']}], 'interventions': [{'name': 'Chin Tuck Exercise', 'type': 'OTHER', 'description': 'Chin Tuck Exercises and Cervical Extension Exercises on Forward Head Posture', 'armGroupLabels': ['Chin tuck exercises']}, {'name': 'Seated cervical extension exercises', 'type': 'OTHER', 'description': 'Perform seated cervical extension exercises focusing on activating posterior neck muscles', 'armGroupLabels': ['Seated cervical extension exercises']}]}, 'contactsLocationsModule': {'locations': [{'zip': '23060', 'city': 'Malakand', 'state': 'KPK', 'country': 'Pakistan', 'facility': 'Riphah international University malakand campus', 'geoPoint': {'lat': 34.56561, 'lon': 71.93043}}], 'centralContacts': [{'name': 'Ataur Rahman, MS-PT', 'role': 'CONTACT', 'email': 'ataur.rahman@riphah.edu.pk', 'phone': '03038371112'}], 'overallOfficials': [{'name': 'Ataur Rahman, MS-PT', 'role': 'PRINCIPAL_INVESTIGATOR', 'affiliation': 'Riphah International University'}]}, 'ipdSharingStatementModule': {'ipdSharing': 'NO'}, 'sponsorCollaboratorsModule': {'leadSponsor': {'name': 'Riphah International University', 'class': 'OTHER'}, 'responsibleParty': {'type': 'SPONSOR'}}}}
