Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

Pilates exercises and Yoga are two effective treatments for correcting RSP. In Pilates each exercise is conducted in more than one times usually three to five hence exposing the body to different and new muscular and kinesthetic challenges. On the other hand Yoga is a process in which the joints and muscles operate together in a systematic and automatic manner where each pose is sustained for a period of time. Several literatures support the belief that Pilates exercises and Yoga are effective treatments for RSP correction, as well as improving sleep quality, heart rate and SpO2 First, The participants will be divided into two groups, for Pilates exercises and Yoga. Honor wristbands will be distributed and Exercises will be demonstrated to each group. Explanation of using Honor band will be given. Measurements will be taken before the intervention including cervical ROM. shoulder ROM at baseline, 2nd week and 4th week. while heart rate, SpO2 immediately after the session. Sleep quality prior the intervention, 2nd and 4th week. Patients will do the exercises 3 times per week for 4 consecutive weeks.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Rigid transparent plastic protractor
Time Frame: 2nd week and 4th week
changes from baseline measurement of the distance between the posterior border of the acromion and the wall or a table
2nd week and 4th week

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Neck diability Index
Time Frame: 4th week
Changes from baseline The neck disability index is a ten-item self-reported questionnaire that assesses pain and associated disability, with a total max score of 50 points. he NDI consists of 10 domains-pain intensity, personal care, lifting, reading, headache, concentration, work, driving, sleep, and recreation-designed to assess the level of disability in patients with neck pain.
4th week
Goniometer
Time Frame: 2nd week and 4th week
Changes from baseline Measurements of cervical flexion, extension, lateral flexion, and rotation, Shoulder flexion, extension, abduction, adduction, internal and external rotation were found to be reliable with universal goniometer
2nd week and 4th week
The Shoulder Pain and Disability Index
Time Frame: 4th week
Change from baseline SPADI is a self-administered questionnaire that consists of two dimensions, one for pain and the other for functional activities. The SPADI includes two domains: a five-item pain subscale and an eight-item disability subscale. he maximum score is 130
4th week
Honor Band 5 Smart Wristband Fitness Tracker
Time Frame: 2nd week and 4th week
Changes from baseline With optimized optical hardware and software algorithms, HONOR Band 5 precisely measure, HR , SpO2 both immediately after exercise and monitors sleep throughout the intervention.
