What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now This study
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

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 looks at how well young adults with Upper Crossed Syndrome—a common postural problem from too much sitting and screen time—can sense their neck position, and how that relates to core stability and balance. Researchers will compare 24 affected university students with 24 healthy controls using simple tests like head repositioning, core endurance, and balance tasks. The goal is to uncover connections that could lead to better physical therapy for posture-related issues.

What this could mean

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

What this could lead to
If successful, this study could point toward better rehabilitation exercises that improve posture and balance in people with Upper Crossed Syndrome.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage observational study with only 48 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. It measures relationships, not treatment effects.

Who can take part

This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.

Who is studied

The study population consists of university students aged 18-30 years from Istinye University and other universities in Istanbul. Participants will be recruited from various academic disciplines. The target population includes students with Upper Crossed Syndrome (UCS) for the case group and healthy students without UCS for the control group. Recruitment will be conducted through flyers posted across campus buildings, advertisements on student social media platforms, mass emails to all university departments, direct screening in common areas, and an online screening survey for volunteers.
