First seen Jan 05, 2026 · Last updated Jun 23, 2026 · Updated 27 times
Summary
This study looks at how smartphone addiction may affect 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 understand the relationship between phone use and back pain, not to test a treatment.
