Effectiveness of a Six-Week Multimodal Physiotherapy Program on the Interconnected Nature of Forward Head Posture, Vertigo, and Neck Pain.
Article in Cureus, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
The forward head posture (FHP) is characterized by the head tilting forward compared to the shoulders, resulting in pressure on the neck and surrounding muscles, which may lead to chronic neck pain. The study focuses on a 47-year-old female patient with FHP experiencing symptoms such as dizziness and neck discomfort and emphasizes the importance of various treatment options. After six weeks of personalized training designed to improve posture and alignment, the patient's neck pain improved significantly. Evaluations using different assessments showed significant improvements in pain intensity, head and neck alignment, neck pain and function, severity of dizziness, and neck mobility. This case report discusses the role of physical therapy in treating muscle and balance problems to alleviate symptoms of various health conditions and shows lasting positive effects. It emphasizes the interconnection of conditions such as pain and dizziness and their impact on overall recovery and health. The physiotherapy approach aimed to improve patient outcomes and functional abilities by addressing muscular-skeletal and vestibular problems. This study highlights the complex relationship between FHP, vertigo, and neck pain.
