Key Points

To determine the impact of an eight-week video-guided cervical posture and breathing exercise regimen on musculoskeletal discomfort, pain intensity, and emotional stress in young adults.
Study involving 30 young adults assigned to an exercise intervention group (n=15) or a control group (n=15).
The intervention group completed video-guided cervical posture and breathing exercises (30 minutes per session, twice weekly for 8 weeks) alongside an educational brochure, while the control group received the brochure alone.
Outcomes evaluated pre- and post-intervention included the Cornell Musculoskeletal Discomfort Questionnaire, Brief Pain Inventory, Neck Disability Index, cervical posture analysis, and the Perceived Stress Scale.
No statistically significant differences were observed between the exercise group and the brochure-only control group at study conclusion (p > 0.05).
Both groups demonstrated statistically significant improvements from baseline in pain severity, Neck Disability Index scores, cervical posture parameters, and musculoskeletal discomfort across the neck, back, waist, and knee regions.
