Brief summary
Neck pain is a major public health concern that has been extensively studied in adults but not in children and adolescents. Mechanical neck pain became prevalent among children and adolescents, and has its impacts on functional ability. This study is aiming to investigate the correlation between Cervical spine sagittal alignment parameter (cranio-cervical angle) and functional disability in preparatory school students with mechanical cervical pain.
Detailed description
* Correlational study between cranio-cervical angles and functional disability in students with mechanical cervical pain. * Inclusion Criteria Age between 12 and 15 years, either sex, and cervical symptoms lasting longer than three months. * exclusion criteria Spinal pathologies or surgery, or any other deformities or visual or auditory issues, as well as ongoing physical or medical treatment for cervical pain
