Summary

This study tested two different neck exercise programs in 62 adults aged 25-50 who wear glasses and have had non-specific neck pain for over three months. One group did isometric neck exercises (holding still positions), and the other did cervical stabilization exercises (moving the neck and shoulders). Both groups exercised three times a week for four weeks. The researchers measured pain, disability, quality of life, and fear of movement to see which approach worked better.
