About this study

Official title: Analysis of Abnormal Muscle Activities on Forward Neck Posture Syndrome Patients and Effect of Neck Extension Exercise Using 8 Channel Surface Electromyography

Analysis of Abnormal Muscle Activities on Forward Neck Posture Syndrome Patients and Effect of Neck Extension Exercise Using 8 Channel Surface Electromyography

Read the detailed description

In this study, the investigators investigate the muscle contraction according to posture change in patients with forward neck posture syndrome which was not revealed by 8 channel surface electromyography and provide accurate evaluation of forward neck posture syndrome in comparison with normal group and to be used as basic research data for the development of 8 channel electric stimulation therapy device.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Change from 8 Channel Surface Electromyography at 4 weeks

    measure the area and extent of muscle activation around the cervical vertebrae according to posture

    Measured: when patient enrolled and after 4 weeks

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Change the angle of cervical vertebrae from plain x-ray at 8 weeks

    measure the angle of cervical vertebrae

    Measured: when patient enrolled and after 8 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing cervical spine extension exercise in people with Neck Syndrome, run by Seoul National University Hospital at 1 site in South Korea.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 8 Nov 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in South Korea. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Change from 8 Channel Surface Electromyography at 4 weeks (time frame: when patient enrolled and after 4 weeks). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT03710785, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 8 Nov 2021.
