An interventional study of diaphragmatic myofascial release with traditional physical therapy exercises for hyperkyphosis and traditional physical therapy exercises for hyperkyphosis in Hyperkyphosis, sponsored by Cairo University. Not yet recruiting. Open to participants aged 20 Years to 40 Years. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2024-10-01.
Sponsored by Cairo University · Not applicable, Interventional, and Treatment
kyphotic subjects have respiratory disturbances due to weakening of the diaphragm, responsible for inhalation, which lead to abnormalities in respiratory mechanics and abnormal gas exchange, leading to respiratory complications. Myofascial release of the diaphragm is an intervention intended to indirectly stretch the diaphragm muscle fibers to reduce muscle tension, normalize fiber length, and promote the efficiency of muscle contraction. Although diaphragm myofascial release has been used in clinical practice, to the best of the authors' knowledge, the current study is the first research investigating the effect of diaphragmatic myofascial release on lung function, chest mobility and kyphotic curve in hyperkyphotic subjects.
132 studies on the registry are indexed under Kyphosis; 31 are open to participants now.
This study's planned enrollment of 42 is close to the median of 44 across 82 interventional studies indexed under Kyphosis.

Start is estimated for Oct 2024; primary completion for Dec 2024, 2 months later.
Of 56 non-industry interventional studies with no phase under Kyphosis, half reached primary completion within 9 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 4 and three quarters within 30. This study's planned 2 months is below that.
Counting every sponsor, half of 58 studies reached it within 9 months; a quarter within 4 and three quarters within 30.
