Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.

Summary

This study compares an AI-based exercise app (APECS-AI) to standard corrective exercises for people with chronic neck pain, forward head posture, and rounded shoulders. Forty-six participants will be assigned to one of two groups to see which approach better reduces pain, improves function, and corrects posture. The goal is to find a more effective way to manage these common issues.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
AI-based exercise program via APECS-AI app
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a more personalized and effective exercise program for people with chronic neck pain and poor posture.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial with only 46 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The AI approach may not be better than standard exercises.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: Subjects with non-specific neck pain who had localized neck pain felt it anywhere along the cervical spine, from the superior nuchal line to the first thoracic spinous process. Neck pain between 3 and 8cm on a visual analogue scale. Subjects suffering from chronic (\> 12 weeks) neck pain. Subjects with forward head posture with craniovertebral angle (CVA) angle less than 50 degrees. Subjects with rounded shoulder posture as shoulder angle \< 52. Subjects must not have received any pharmacological medication related to their musculoskeletal condition as non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs or muscle relaxant for at least three months prior to enrolment in the study. Subjects must not have involved in any form of physical therapy or structured postural correction programs within the 6 months prior to study - Exclusion Criteria: 1. Musculoskeletal diseases, cardiopulmonary diseases, and a history of surgery that could affect the experiment. 2. History of cervical spine injury or surgery. 3. Neck pain secondary to other conditions (e.g. Neoplasm, neurological diseases or vascular diseases). 4. Spondylosis and spondylolisthesis 5. A neurological disease, infection. 6. Inflammatory arthritis in the cervical spine. 7. Poor general health status that would interfere with the exercises -
