Brief summary (from the registry)
Chronic pain is defined as persistent or recurrent pain lasting longer than 3 months as per ICD11 and includes seven categories of pain. Chronic musculoskeletal pain is one of them. Neck pain is one of the top five causes of chronic pain yet few clinical trials are dedicated solely to neck pain. Chronic neck pain not only leads to neuromuscular dysfunction but also psychological distress and fear-avoidance all contributing to reduced quality of life, emotional health, and productivity of a person. Absenteeism and presenteeism are both measures of work productivity of a person but presenteeism is more significant where being absent from work is not a feasible option like in the case of homemakers. Homemakers are often neglected but they constitute an essential part of society. Although they do not have a formal occupation, they perform a multitude of ergonomically stressful activities leading to different types of musculoskeletal pain. Being mostly a silent sufferer, they often seek medical help when the pain becomes chronic and affects different areas of health thereby necessitating a holistic management approach. In the Central Indian cultural scenario, a homemaker rarely takes complete rest from her household chores. So presenteeism can be used as a marker for work productivity. This study aims to analyze the impact of chronic neck pain in the pre-treatment quality of life, presenteeism, and emotional health in homemakers and to find the association of the findings with the cause and severity of chronic neck pain.
