About this study

Official title: Effects of Elongation Longitudinaux Articular Vertebral and Columnar Decoaption Osteo-articulaire Versus Upper Thoracic Mobilization on Forward Head Posture in Upper Cross Syndrome

This randomized controlled study will examine the patient of forward head posture who suffering with upper cross syndrome. There will be comparison of two treatment methods 1st one is elongation longitudinaux articular vertebral and columnar decoaption osteo-articulaire also known as ELDOA and 2nd is upper thoracic mobilization .

Read the detailed description

This study includes 42 participants, both male and female, age between 20 to 45. ELDOA target the cervical and upper thoracic spine to improve range of motion, restore normal cervical and thoracic spine alignment and reduce muscle tension. Upper thoracic mobilization improve thoracic spine mobility and enhance cervical spine alignment.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Elongation longitudinaux articular vertebral and columnar decoaption osteo-articulaire also known as ELDOADiagnostic test

    ELDOA targtes cervical and upper thoracic spine. ELDOA exercises involves spicific postural holds that improve forward neck posture.The goal of ELDOA is to help reduce stress and increase space in the vertebral joints so that muscles can move freely. The benefits of these stretches include joint mobility, increased fluid absorption in the discs of the spine, flexibility, improved muscle tone, postural alignment, body-mind connection, and coordination. The tension and release created by these stretches helps normalize the posture.

  • upper thoracic mobilizationDiagnostic test

    Upper thoracic mobilization, often known as joint mobilization, is a common technique in manual therapy. In order to preserve or restore joint mobility, this approach glides and uses distraction on the joint surfaces.

What is being measured

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

  1. Tragus to wall test

    Tragus to wall test for forward head posture assessment: normal below 10 centimetres , 10.1- 12 centimetres for mild positive forward head posture,12.1-15 centimetres moderate forward head posture, less than 15 centimetres severe forward head posture.

    Measured: 12 Months

  2. Craniovertebral angle assess

    Craniovertebral angle assess by web plot digitizer software: normal CVA value 48-50 degree, positive forward head posture less than 48 degree

    Measured: 12 Months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Elongation longitudinaux articular vertebral and columnar decoaption osteo-articulaire also known as ELDOA and upper thoracic mobilization in people with Cross Syndrome, run by Superior 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 4 inclusion and 6 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: under way, not looking for participants, as of the sponsor's last update on 18 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.

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?

Tragus to wall test (time frame: 12 Months). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 18 Dec 2024.
