HOME EXERCISE AND KINESIO TAPING IN NON-SPECIFIC NECK PAIN AMONG CHAIN MARKET WORKERS

Condition(s) studied

Investigational drug(s) / intervention(s)

Home Exercise: Participants will receive a home-based exercise program for neck pain. The exercises will focus on strengthening neck muscles, increasing flexibility, and reducing pain. Participants will be asked to perform the exercises regularly during the intervention period.

Study summary

Non-specific neck pain (NSNP) is a common musculoskeletal disorder associated with pain and functional limitations. Female chain market workers are exposed to ergonomic risk factors such as prolonged standing, repetitive movements, and static postures, which may contribute to the development of neck pain. Exercise therapy is considered an effective non-pharmacological treatment approach for NSNP, while kinesio taping has been reported to improve pain and functionality. However, studies investigating the combined effects of home exercise and kinesio taping in female chain market workers are limited. This study aims to evaluate the effects of home exercise and kinesio taping on pain, functionality, and work performance in female chain market workers with non-specific neck pain.

Eligibility

Primary outcome measure(s)

• Visual Analog Scale — Baseline and immediately after 6 weeks of intervention
  Neck pain intensity will be evaluated using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS), scored from 0 to 10, where higher scores indicate greater pain severity.
