Effects of daoyin training on pain, postural angles and quality of life in upper cross syndrome patients

To determine the effects of Daoyin training on pain, postural angles and quality of life in Upper- crossed syndrome Patients.

It was a concealed, randomized, single blinded, sham controlled clinical trial with a parallel group design of 60 patients.

Study was conducted at Layyah city hospital of govt college university Faisalabad Layyah campus. The study population was consisted of patients with upper cross syndrome. The study was single blinded. The participants didn't know while they were receiving experimental or conventional treatment.

Inclusion Criteria: Aged between 18-45 years, both genders, satisfied the diagnostic criteria raised by Asian Fitness Society for UCS Exclusion Criteria: Patients with neurological disorders (Thoracic outlet syndrome), musculoskeletal disorder (Rotator cuff injury), Inflammatory disease (e.g. Rheumatoid arthritis), history of Spine, shoulder fractures /dislocation

Participants will be randomly allocated into two groups (Group A: DT group, Group B: CT group). The participants randomly allocated in Group A will be received the Thoracic and cervical Daoyin training. Participants will execute this training after 15 minutes of TENS and heat pack. This approach requires five sessions per week for eight weeks. Group B participants will have received treatment includes of TENS, hot pack for 15 min and other body strength exercises and stretches includes shoulder roll, scapular squeeze, wall angel, overhead arm stretch, Cat cow, Knee to chest, superman, trapezius and levator scapulae stretch.

Pain (Visual Analogue Scale), Postural Angles (Forward Shoulder Angle and Forward Head Angle), Quality of life ( Short Form Survey-12)

participants were randomized using gold fish bowl method into two groups, control and experimental. Treatment allocation were done by using concealed envelope method. In this, sealed opaque envelops with treatment regimen written were provided to the participants. Once a patient had consented to enter a trial room, an envelope was opened, and the patient was then offered the allocated treatment.

The study was single blinded. The participants did not know while they were receiving experimental or routine physical therapy treatment. and yes, intervention is similar enough for blinding participants.

Demographic data and data related to final outcome will be shared by maintaining the confidentiality

data will be available from April 2024 to June 2024 after the 6 months of publication. The data sharing plan for a clinical trial (i.e., what data will be shared when and under what conditions) will be publicly available at a third-party site that shares data with and meets the data requirements of WHO's International Clinical Trials Registry Platform; this occur before the first participant is enrolled.
