NCT ID NCT07663721
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether weight shift training—a type of physical therapy—can help infants with congenital muscular torticollis (a tight neck muscle that causes head tilting) bear weight more evenly on their arms. Thirty infants aged 6 to 12 months will be randomly assigned to receive either stretching exercises alone or stretching plus weight shift training for 8 weeks. The goal is to see if the extra training improves posture, movement, and arm symmetry.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
Weight shift training (a physical therapy technique) and stretching exercises
What this could lead to
If it works, this could provide a simple, non-invasive therapy to improve posture and motor development in infants with torticollis.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial with only 30 infants. The results may not apply to all cases, and the therapy may not be more effective than standard stretching alone.
