The increasing prevalence of this postural disorder has led to a rise in musculoskeletal complaints, particularly among young adults and university students. TNS is characterized by symptoms such as neck and upper back pain, stiffness, shoulder pain, headaches, and, in some cases, paresthesia in the upper limbs.\n\nMyofascial release (MFR) is a manual therapy technique aimed at releasing restrictions in the myofascial system to alleviate pain and improve function. It is increasingly being used to treat various musculoskeletal disorders, including those affecting the cervical and thoracic spine. The technique involves applying gentle, sustained pressure to the myofascial connective tissue to improve mobility, reduce pain, and enhance functional performance.\n\nThis single-arm experimental study is designed to evaluate the acute effects of a one-time standardized myofascial release session targeting the cervical and upper thoracic regions in individuals diagnosed with Text Neck Syndrome. Four myofascial techniques will be applied in a specific sequence:\n\nSingle Arm Pull\n\nLateral Neck Shoulder Release\n\nThoracic Transverse Release\n\nAnterior Cervical Release\n\nThese techniques are performed by a licensed physiotherapist with advanced training in manual therapy. Each intervention is applied bilaterally (if appropriate), with a duration of 90-120 seconds per technique.\n\nThe primary focus is to observe immediate (pre-post) changes in:\n\nSubjective neck pain intensity\n\nFunctional disability associated with the neck\n\nCervical range of motion (C-ROM) in multiple planes\n\nThis study is exploratory in nature and aims to provide preliminary data on the efficacy of a single-session MFR intervention for individuals experiencing TNS-related symptoms. The findings may guide future controlled trials and inform physiotherapeutic approaches in addressing posture-related neck dysfunctions.",[29],{"label":30,"type":31,"description":20,"interventionNames":32},"participants with text neck syndrome","EXPERIMENTAL",[33],"Other: Myofascial Release",[35],{"type":6,"name":36,"description":37,"armGroupLabels":38,"otherNames":39},"Myofascial Release","A single session of myofascial release techniques including Single Arm Pull, Lateral Neck Shoulder Release, Thoracic Transverse Release, and Anterior Cervical Release applied by a physiotherapist trained in manual therapy.",[30],[40],"Manual Therapy",[42],{"name":43,"role":44,"phone":45,"phoneExt":20,"email":46},"Ece ACAR","CONTACT","+905457925035","eceacar@karabuk.edu.tr",[48],{"facility":49,"status":50,"city":51,"state":52,"zip":53,"country":54,"countryCode":20,"cosmosGeoPoint":55,"geoPoint":60,"contacts":61},"Karabük University","RECRUITING","Karabük","Karabük Province","78050","Turkey (Türkiye)",{"type":56,"coordinates":57},"Point",[58,59],32.62768,41.20488,{"lat":59,"lon":58},[62],{"name":43,"role":44,"phone":63,"phoneExt":20,"email":46},"+90545 7925035",{"type":65,"investigatorFullName":43,"investigatorTitle":66,"investigatorAffiliation":5,"oldNameTitle":20,"oldOrganization":20},"PRINCIPAL_INVESTIGATOR","Director","100592281",false,"NCT06991387","Acute Effects of Myofascial Release in Individuals With Text Neck Syndrome","Exploring the Short-Term Effects of Myofascial Release in Text Neck Syndrome","Inclusion Criteria:\n\n* Aged between 18 and 40 years (inclusive)\n* Uses a mobile device for ≥3 hours\u002Fday\n* Reports at least 3 out of the following 6 symptoms associated with Text Neck Syndrome (TNS):\n\nNeck pain Shoulder pain Back pain Headache Insomnia Numbness\u002Ftingling in hands\n\n-Voluntarily agrees to participate and provides informed consent\n\nExclusion Criteria:\n\n* History of congenital, traumatic, or surgical pathology affecting the cervical -------spine or shoulder region\n* Neurological disorders that cause headaches (e.g., migraines due to underlying neurological conditions)\n* Presence of inflammatory, infectious spinal diseases, or diagnosed spinal deformities\n* Received trigger point injections in the cervical region within the past 6 months","ALL","18 Years","40 Years",{"count":77,"type":78},20,"ESTIMATED","INTERVENTIONAL",[22],"This study aims to investigate the acute effects of myofascial release therapy on neck pain, functional status, and cervical range of motion in individuals diagnosed with Text Neck Syndrome (TNS).
