NCT ID NCT07261566
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looks at how smartphone addiction relates to core muscle endurance, spine curvature, and daily function in university students aged 18-25 who have had chronic low back pain for at least six months. Researchers will measure addiction levels, muscle endurance, and disability using standard tests and questionnaires. The goal is to better understand the connection between smartphone overuse and back pain, but this is an observational study, not a treatment.
