Implication

Quasi experimental study shows reduced pain and improved craniovertebral angle in FHP students, highlighting exercise benefits.

Key Points

  • Significant pain reduction was noted with NPRS scores decreasing from 4.22 to 3.34 after the intervention.
  • Craniovertebral angle improved from 49.81° to 50.75°, indicating a positive effect of exercises on posture.
  • Participants performed scapular stability and thoracic extension exercises four times weekly for six weeks.
  • The findings suggest that targeted exercises may significantly alleviate pain and enhance craniovertebral angle in students.
