Clinical Trial Summary

the study aims to investigate the effectiveness of diaphragmatic release on upper crossed syndrome

Description:

Poor posture typically causes upper cross syndrome, resulting in neck pain. Neck pain is the most common reason for patients to visit healthcare professionals. This syndrome can cause dysfunctional tone in posture and muscular disparity of the head, neck, and shoulder region . Evidence suggests that 6-48% of the upper crossed syndrome population complain of pain in the shoulder girdle and cervicothoracic region. Many disorders are linked with the upper crossed syndrome, including migraine headaches; chronic headaches; Subacromial impingement; biceps tendinitis; thoracic outlet syndrome; degeneration of the cervical spine; and joint dysfunction at the C1-C2 segment, C4-C5 segment, cervicothoracic joint, and T4-T5 segment. Upon the available research studies, there is no study conducted to investigate the effect of diaphragmatic release on upper crossed syndrome patients.
