NCT ID NCT07532642
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looks at whether wearing special low-powered prismatic lenses for 15 minutes can change head and neck posture in people with postural problems. Twenty participants will get X-rays before and after wearing the lenses to measure any shifts in their spine and pelvis. It is an early, observational study to see if this simple approach has any short-term effect.
