This condition is frequently associated with non-specific low back pain (NSLBP), which affects a significant portion of the global population and poses substantial challenges for individuals' well-being and healthcare systems worldwide. NSLBP is a multifactorial condition with various etiological factors, including poor posture, muscle imbalances, sedentary lifestyle, and biomechanical abnormalities such as APT. Understanding and effectively managing APT in the context of NSLBP is crucial for reducing pain, improving functional capacity, and enhancing quality of life for affected individuals .\n\nDespite the prevalence and clinical significance of APT in NSLBP, there is a lack of comprehensive research comparing the effectiveness of different therapeutic interventions. Various approaches have been proposed, including core stability exercises, soft tissue release with manual therapy, stretching and flexibility exercises, and postural correction exercises . However, the relative efficacy of these interventions remains uncertain, hindering evidence-based decision-making in clinical practice.\n\nA variety of therapeutic interventions have been proposed for managing APT and NSLBP, aiming to address underlying biomechanical imbalances, improve musculoskeletal function, and alleviate pain. Core stability exercises, focused on strengthening the deep stabilizing muscles of the spine and pelvis, have shown promise in improving postural alignment and reducing NSLBP symptoms. Soft tissue release techniques, such as manual therapy and myofascial release, target tight and restricted muscles associated with APT, promoting relaxation and improved range of motion. Stretching and flexibility exercises aim to elongate tight musculature, particularly in the hip flexors and lumbar extensors, thereby reducing excessive pelvic tilt and alleviating NSLBP. Additionally, postural correction exercises focus on retraining optimal alignment and body mechanics, promoting a more neutral pelvic position and reducing strain on the lumbar spine.",[27,28],"Anterior Pelvic Tilt","Low Back Pain",[30,31,32,33],"physiotherapy interventions","Non specific low back pain","anterior pelvic tilt","low back pain treatment","RECRUITING","2025-07-29",{"date":37,"type":38},"2025-08-01","ACTUAL",{"date":40,"type":38},"2025-03-20",{"date":42,"type":21},"2025-10-15",{"name":44,"class":45},"National Orthopedic and General Hospital","OTHER",1,{"id":48,"slug":49,"hasResults":11,"nctId":50,"briefTitle":51,"officialTitle":52,"acronym":4,"eligibilityCriteria":53,"healthyVolunteers":11,"sex":16,"minAge":17,"maxAge":18,"enrollmentInfo":54,"targetDuration":4,"studyType":22,"phases":55,"briefSummary":56,"conditions":57,"keywords":59,"overallStatus":34,"whyStopped":4,"lastUpdateSubmitDate":35,"lastUpdatePostDateStruct":64,"startDateStruct":65,"completionDateStruct":67,"leadSponsor":69,"locationsCount":46},"100600535","comparing-physical-therapy-interventions-on-craniovertebral-angle-cva-in-cervical-myofascial-pain-syndrome-mps-100600535","NCT07098754","Comparing Physical Therapy Interventions on Craniovertebral Angle (CVA) in Cervical Myofascial Pain Syndrome (MPS)","Comparative Analysis of Different Physiotherapy Interventions on Craniovertebral Angle in Individuals With Myofascial Pain Syndrome and Radiculopathy: a Randomized Controlled Trial","Inclusion Criteria:\n\n1.

MPS is characterized by localized muscle pain, trigger points, and referred pain, often accompanied by stiffness and restricted range of motion. A common feature shared by individuals with MPS and radiculopathy is the presence of postural abnormalities and balance impairments . The craniovertebral angle, which reflects the relationship between the head and neck, is often compromised in these individuals due to muscle imbalances, pain-related guarding, and structural changes in the spine. Various physiotherapy modalities, including dry needling, manual mobilization and soft tissue release, trigger point therapy, stretching, cupping therapy, and electrotherapy, have been utilized in clinical practice, but their relative efficacy in improving the craniovertebral angle and alleviating symptoms in individuals with MPS and radiculopathy has not been comprehensively compared. Understanding the underlying mechanisms and comparative effectiveness of various physiotherapy interventions is essential for guiding evidence-based clinical decision-making and optimizing treatment outcomes for individuals with MPS and radiculopathy. By elucidating the effects of different treatment modalities on the craniovertebral angle and associated outcomes, this research endeavor aims to contribute to the development of more tailored and effective physiotherapy approaches for improving the well-being of individuals affected by these debilitating musculoskeletal conditions.",[58],"Myofascial Pain Syndrome - Neck",[60,61,62,63],"myofascial pain syndrome","dry needling in myofascial pain syndrome","cupping therapy in myofascial pain syndrome","best intervention for myofascial pain syndrome",{"date":37,"type":38},{"date":66,"type":38},"2025-03-15",{"date":68,"type":21},"2025-09-15",{"name":44,"class":45},""]
