Overview

NCT ID: NCT07726303
Lead Sponsor: Cairo UniversityOTHER
Official Title: Scapular Kinematics and Forward Head Posture Differences in Tension Headaches
Brief Summary: it evaluates forward head posture (craniovertebral angle), resting scapular alignment (upward rotation, anterior tilt, protraction, depression), and dynamic scapular kinematics (upward rotation, anterior-posterior tilt) between tension-type headache and controls.
Conditions: Tension-Type Headache
Interventions: forward head posture , resting scapular alignment and dynamic scapular kinematics
