Summary

This trial tests whether three electrotherapy methods—therapeutic ultrasound, interferential current, and TENS—can temporarily change the stiffness and tone of neck muscles in young adults with forward head posture. Seventy-five participants will receive a single session of one therapy, with muscle properties and posture angle measured before and after. The goal is to see if these treatments can offer quick relief for muscle tension associated with poor posture.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance: Therapeutic ultrasound, interferential current, and conventional TENS (electrotherapy devices)
What this could lead to: If effective, these therapies could offer a non-invasive way to relax neck muscles and improve posture in people with forward head posture.
What could go wrong: This is a small, early-stage trial measuring immediate effects only, so long-term benefits are unknown. Individual responses may vary, and the therapies may not produce lasting changes.
