About this study
Official title: Comparative Effects of Brugger's Exercise With and Without Kendall Exercises on Pain, Craniovertebral Angle and Range of Motion in Patients With Sterno-Symphyseal Syndrome
Sterno-symphyseal syndrome is a natural result of prolonged sitting work, especially with computers .In actual it is the approximation between pubic symphysis and sternum. The aim of study will be to compare the effects of Brugger's exercise with and without Kendall exercises on Pain, Craniovertebral angle and Range of motion in patients with Sterno-Symphyseal Syndrome. Group A will be treated with Kendall exercises and Brugger's Exercise and Group B will receive Brugger's Exercise only. Standard treatment will be provided to both groups. Outcome measures will be conducted at baseline, after 3 weeks and by the end of 6 weeks of treatment. Data will be analyzed using SPSS software version 25.
Read the detailed description
Sterno-symphyseal syndrome is a natural result of prolonged sitting work, especially with computers. It is basically the approximation between the sternum and pubic symphysis. This syndrome has been given several names including posterior cervical-dorsal syndrome and more commonly Computer back or Student syndrome. This posture is associated with increased muscular tension and faulty respiration habit. The aim of study will be to compare the effects of Brugger's exercise with and without Kendall exercises on Pain, Craniovertebral angle and Range of motion in patients with Sterno-Symphyseal Syndrome.
A Randomized Clinical Trial will be conducted at Umar Hospital Lahore through convenience sampling technique on patients which will be allocated using simple random sampling through computer generated method into Group A and Group B. Group A will be treated with Kendall exercises and Brugger's Exercise and Group B will receive Brugger's Exercise only. Standard treatment will be provided to both groups. Outcome measures will be conducted through pain, Craniovertebral angle and neck range of motion at baseline, after 3 weeks and by the end of 6 weeks of treatment. Data will be analyzed using SPSS software version 25. After assessing normality of data by Shapiro-wilk test, it will be decided either parametric or non-parametric test will be used within a group or between two groups.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Brugger's exercise.Procedure or surgery
Participant was in a high sitting position. An elastic resistance band was be wrapped on each hand of the participant leaving the palm open and instructed to abduct and extend of thumb along with fingers, followed by wrist extension and forearm supination, the participant were instructed to perform scapular retraction with chin tucked in ,shoulder external rotation, elbow extension, shoulder abduction, and extension. Intervention was started from 10 seconds hold to 30 seconds with 2 seconds increment in every session. Rest time was 30 seconds, 4 sets 12 times repetitions.
Kendall Exercise.Procedure or surgery
Kendall exercises with the frequency 5 sets of consisting of 12 repetitions of postures, each taking 30 seconds,3 times a week for total of 6 weeks.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Brugger's exercise with Kendall exercise. | Experimental | Participants in this group will receive Brugger's exercise with Kendall Exercise. Receives: Procedure: Brugger's exercise.; Procedure: Kendall Exercise. |

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Numeric pain rating scale
Patient level of pain will be assessed using this scale. This scale ranges from 0 to 10. 0 indicates "no pain" and 10 indicates "worst pain". Reliability is 0.76-0.96 .
Measured: 6th week.
Measuring tape for Sterno-symphyseal syndrome.
To measure distance between xiphoid process and pubic symphysis.
Measured: 6th week.
Universal Goniometer (UG)
- Universal Goniometer (UG) It is commonly a large universal goniometer having 12-inch arms and full-circle plastic body used for measuring AROM. It is used to measure joint ROM in clinics. Reliability is 0.9.
It will measure range of motion of neck. It will measure Craniovertebral angle.
Measured: 6th week
Image J Software
Image J is an image Processing tool that processes photographs taken for the observation of Posture. Image J, a versatile software, has many capabilities and functions. This software is very simple and easily available. By Using JAVA, it is built on open architecture platform. Validity is 0.96 (31)
Measured: 6th week.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A study testing Brugger's exercise. and Kendall Exercise. in people with Upper Crossed Syndrome, run by Riphah International University at 1 site in Pakistan.
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 10 inclusion and 0 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 27 Dec 2024. 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 Pakistan. 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?
Numeric pain rating scale (time frame: 6th week.). The study lists 4 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT06407700, which also lists 17 linked publications.
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 27 Dec 2024.
