A population-based study reveals a link between screen time and chronic neck pain in adults, suggesting preventive strategies are needed.
Two years after the end of the COVID-19 social restrictions in Peru, the prevalence of CNP remains high, with 15 out of 100 adults experiencing this condition daily. The association between screen use and CNP was strongest in adults aged 18-29 years, while other factors may be more influential in adults ≥60. As prolonged screen use is a modifiable risk factor, reducing excessive exposure should be prioritized within prevention strategies to lower CNP prevalence.
