Brief Summary:
Objectives: The purpose of the study was to investigate the effects of exercise and life modification on pain and disability in "text neck".
Methods: Eighty-five participants were randomly divided into three groups: Exercise (n=29), Exercise+Life modification (n=28), and Control Group (n = 28). Pain intensity during rest, activity, and at night was evaluated with Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) and functional assessment was done by using Neck Disability Index at the beginning and at the end of 4 weeks.

Detailed Description:
Objectives: Smartphones or tablets have made an important place in our lives. However long-term use of technological tools causes postural disorders and neck pain called "text neck". The purpose of the study was to investigate the effects of exercise and life modification on pain and disability in "text neck".
Methods: Eighty-five participants with "text-neck" were randomly divided into three groups: Exercise (n=29), Exercise+Life modification (n=28), and Control Group (n = 28). First group received a home exercise program treatment for 4 weeks. Second group received life modification suggestions additional to home exercise treatment program. Control group did not receive any treatments. Pain intensity during rest, activity, and at night was evaluated with Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) and functional assessment was done by using Neck Disability Index at the beginning and at the end of 4 weeks.
