Summary

This study tests whether adding simple eyeball exercises to standard neck physiotherapy can better relieve pain and improve posture in people with text neck syndrome—a condition caused by prolonged device use. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either physiotherapy alone or physiotherapy plus eye and neck stabilization exercises. The trial measures pain, neck disability, and head posture over time.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Eyeball exercises and cervical stabilization exercises
What this could lead to
If effective, this simple exercise combination could offer a drug-free way to relieve neck pain and correct posture in people who spend long hours on devices.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial with 74 participants. Results may not apply to everyone, and the exercises may not work for all types of neck pain.
