Brief summary (from the registry)
This clinical trial aims to learn if a structured exercise intervention helps treat chronic neck pain, reduce neck disability, relieve work-related stress, and improve overall quality of life in office workers. The main questions it aims to answer are: Does a targeted exercise intervention significantly reduce neck pain intensity and neck disability in office workers? Does the exercise program help lower work-related stress levels among office employees? Does the intervention provide significant improvements in the health-related quality of life of the participants? Participants will: Complete a baseline assessment evaluating their current neck pain, functional disability, work-related stress levels, and quality of life using validated clinical questionnaires and measurements. Engage in a structured exercise program focused on deep neck flexor strengthening, upper back/shoulder strengthening, muscle stretching, and postural alignment. Complete a post-intervention evaluation immediately following the completion of the exercise program to measure changes in pain, disability, stress, and quality of life.
