NCT ID NCT06835608
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a Schroth-based three-dimensional exercise program in 52 adults aged 20–50 with postural hyperkyphosis (excessive rounding of the upper back) and chronic neck pain. Participants will receive electrotherapy followed by specific corrective exercises in different positions. Researchers will measure changes in kyphosis angle, trunk muscle strength, balance, pain, and quality of life.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
Schroth-based three-dimensional exercise program
What this could lead to
If it works, this could provide a standardized exercise protocol to improve posture, reduce neck pain, and enhance quality of life for people with postural hyperkyphosis.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial with only 52 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The exercises require active participation and may not work for all individuals.
