Neck pain is a growing public health concern, particularly in the digital age, where increased screen time, sedentary lifestyles, and poor posture have become widespread. This study investigates the relationship between screen time, abnormal posture, physical activity, and neck pain in 100 patients. Utilising validated assessment tools and drawing upon findings from 20 peer-reviewed studies, this research reveals significant correlations between extended screen use and musculoskeletal discomfort, particularly neck pain. The findings suggest that poor posture and reduced physical activity exacerbate the symptoms of this condition. These results underscore the importance of ergonomic education, lifestyle modification, and preventive interventions to mitigate neck pain associated with modern behavioural patterns.
