Abstract in brief

  • The study was a randomized controlled trial involving 96 office workers with moderate to severe neck pain, testing the effectiveness of neck and shoulder stretching exercises over four weeks.
  • Both the exercise group and control group received ergonomic education, but only the exercise group performed stretching exercises twice daily; results showed significant improvements in pain, neck function, and quality of life for the exercise group.
  • The findings suggest that regular stretching exercises, especially when performed more frequently (three times a week), can effectively reduce neck pain and enhance overall neck function and quality of life for office workers with chronic neck and shoulder pain.
