Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: Current key inclusion criteria as of 27/10/2025: Eligibility criteria for participants were adults aged 18 years or older, regardless of sex or occupation, who were actively participating in study, work, and normal daily activities. Inclusion criteria required that participants had a Visual Analog Scale (VAS) pain score of 0, a Neck Disability Index (NDI) score of = 4, full cognitive and behavioral awareness, and voluntary agreement to participate. _____ Previous key inclusion criteria: 1. Participants are 18 years of age or older, regardless of gender or occupation. 2. Participants are capable of performing normal studying or working activities. 3. Participants have full cognitive and behavioral capacity. 4. Participants voluntarily agree to participate in the study.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: Current key exclusion criteria as of 27/10/2025: Exclusion criteria included current or recent neck, shoulder, and/or headache symptoms within the previous 3 months; history of cervical spine or shoulder disorders; neurological and/or rheumatic conditions; and symptoms of nerve compression or radiculopathy. _____ Previous key exclusion criteria: 1. Participants report or complain of neck, shoulder and/or headache pain in the previous month. 2. Participants have history of neck and/or shoulder disorders, including trauma and fractures, history of neurological and/or rheumatic disorders. 3. Participants have history of other relevant medical conditions.
