Musculoskeletal neck pain is one of the leading ailments in the world right now and affects everyone, from seniors to prepubescent kids. Neck pain also costs countries billions of dollars in healthcare and medical expenses. Research in this field is slim, and thus, a compilation of this information is necessary. This systematic review aims to collect articles worldwide, exploring the correlation between screen use and neck pain in children. This systematic review harnesses PubMed, JSTOR, and Google Scholar data to comprehensively analyze 6,804 articles on the subject, cutting it down to 13 papers. To do this, an independent reviewer first distinguished note-worthy articles from said databases and used articles that fit this study. Then, the articles with data that fit the variables were used. Preliminary results in all articles indicate a substantial positive correlation between reduced screen time and reduced instances of neck pain issues, signifying the potential for lifestyle changes in children and adolescents. This systematic review also highlights its recommendations for screen use at different points in a childs life, allowing parents to determine their kids best screen use rate. By synthesizing these findings, this review offers valuable insights into the potential benefits of reducing screen time as a preventive measure against neck pain in adolescents, increasing support for this cause, and expanding informed parental guidance in managing childrens screen usage habits. These recommendations were determined based on data from articles in the systematic review. Additional work in this field focusing on screen use and neck pain in adolescence is needed, and a higher-quality recommendation chart must be manufactured.

“…In addition to the use of electronic devices, the way, i.e., the posture of working on the computer, cell phone, or tablet, is also important. Previous studies have concluded that the sitting position when using a cell phone is a direct risk factor for neck pain (7). Excessive use of electronic devices while studying and reading can lead to the onset of depression symptoms in students.…”

Introduction: Previous studies have found that, in addition to the general factors for the occurrence of pain and reduced mobility of the cervical spine, the use of electronic devices promotes these, the excessive use of which can also lead to the occurrence of depressive symptoms in students. The aim of this study was to determine the mobility limitation of the cervical spine in students with reported neck pain, to determine the degree of disability and depression due to neck pain, to determine the correlation of mobility limitation of the cervical spine with the degree of disability and depression of students, and to determine the correlation of the degree of disability with the degree of depression. Methods: The research was conducted as a cross-sectional study from May to July 2021 at the University of Zenica in four faculties. The study used the General Questionnaire and two standardized questionnaires to assess disability due to neck pain (Index of Disability due to Neck Pain) and the degree of depression (patient health questionnaire). Results: A total of 147 students with reported neck pain participated in the study. A limitation of mobility was found in 30.6% of the students in flexion, 25.2% in rotation, 23.8% in lateral flexion, and 20.4% on extension. Mild disability due to neck pain was found in 58.5% of students, moderate in 23.8%, and severe in 2.7%. 45.6% of the students had mild depression, 18.4% had moderate depression, and 5.4% had severe depression.Conclusion: Restricted flexion and rotation are more common than restricted lateral flexion and extension of the cervical spine. About half of the students who reported neck pain had a mild degree of disability and mild depression. A strong positive correlation was found between the degree of disability and depression in students with neck pain.

ObjectiveTo evaluate whether sedentary behaviour is a risk or prognostic factor for spinal pain in children and adolescents. Specifically, to estimate the (1) direction and strength of the association; (2) risk of spinal pain onset and (3) effect on spinal pain prognosis.DesignSystematic review with meta-analysis.Data sourcesElectronic searches of MEDLINE, Embase, CINAHL and Web of Science up to 23 March 2023.Eligibility criteria for selecting studiesReports estimating the effect of sedentary behaviour on spinal pain in young people (≤19 years).ResultsWe included 129 reports, 14 were longitudinal (n = 8 433) and 115 were cross-sectional (n > 697 590). We incorporated 86 studies into meta-analyses. (1) From cross-sectional data, we found low certainty evidence of a small positive association between sedentary behaviour and spinal pain (adjusted odds ratio 1.25 (95% CI 1.17 to 1.33), k = 44, n > 92 617). (2) From longitudinal data, we found low certainty evidence of no increased risk for the onset of spinal pain due to sedentary behaviour (adjusted risk ratio 1.07 (95% CI 0.84 to 1.35), k = 4, n = 1 292). (3) No studies assessed prognosis.ConclusionCross-sectional data suggest minimally higher odds of spinal pain for children and adolescents who engage in greater sedentary behaviours. However, longitudinal data do not support a causal relationship, indicating that sedentary behaviour does not increase the risk for onset of spinal pain. Due to the low certainty of evidence, these findings must be interpreted with caution. We found no evidence of the effect sedentary behaviour has on spinal pain prognosis in children and adolescents, highlighting a considerable gap in the literature.
