Summary

This study looks at how common neck and low back pain is among medical students at the University of the West Indies, Mona. It also checks what students know about spine health and tests if a simple exercise program can help reduce their pain. About 1,000 students will take part, and those with pain will be randomly assigned to do the exercises or not, so researchers can see if the exercises make a difference.
