“…Many physical impairments, including reduced cervical range of motion, are experienced by the majority of people with neck pain [3] . The yearly percentage of computer users with work related musculoskeletal disorder ranged from 33.8 to 95.3% [5] . The frequency of neck discomfort is greater among office workers than in the general population.…”

Background: Neck pain is the condition that impacts people globally. Non-specific neck pain is mostly diagnosed based on clinical criteria assuming there are no signs and symptoms that point to a more serious or particular illness. Introduction: Prevalence of neck pain is increasing day by day. Previously many studies were done on lower deep neck extensor without combining it with trapezius strengthening. It will show the effect of lower deep neck extensor and trapezius strengthening on patients with non-specific neck pain, if study is found appropriate. The major goal of the study is to evaluate the benefits of a lower deep neck extensors [LDNE] exercise and trapezius strengthening program on, pain, disability and Range of Motion in women with non-specific neck pain to a General neck extensors (GNE) exercise program. Given that the LDNE and trapezius strengthening programs will have a greater impact than the GNE program. Methodology: 24 women, aged >18 years with nonspecific neck pain of > 3months were randomly assigned to two groups. Group A received lower deep neck extensor muscle strengthening and trapezius strengthening. Group B received general neck exercise programme. The difference between groups was location of resistance applied during the exercises. In lower deep neck extensors resistance was applied in lower cervical spine at the vertebral arch C4. Whereas in the general neck exercise group was applied at the occiput for six weeks. In addition, pain intensity and cervical range of motion is measured. Result: Awaited and will be produced at the time of presentation. Conclusion: Awaited and will be produced at the time of presentation.

The high levels of musculoskeletal pain, in conjunction with the low levels of functional capacity, may negatively affect workers’ health, efficiency, and productivity. This randomized controlled study investigated the efficacy of a 6-month comprehensive workplace exercise program on musculoskeletal pain and functional capacity in office workers. Seventy male and female office workers with musculoskeletal pain in any body area were randomly assigned to either an intervention (IG; n = 35) or a control group (CG; n = 35). The IG participated every working day (during working hours) in a 6-month supervised combined (flexibility, strength, and balance) exercise program (120 training sessions; five times/week) for the total body. The CG did not participate in any intervention. Musculoskeletal pains in nine body areas and functional capacity (flexibility, balance, and strength) of the lower and upper body were measured before and following the intervention. The IG significantly reduced duration and intensity of pain (43.1–70%; p = 0.000) as well as days of work absenteeism (84.6%; p = 0.000), while improving work capacity (87.1%; p = 0.000). Furthermore, the IG significantly increased cervical, handgrip, back, and leg maximal strength (10.3–27.1%; p = 0.000) and flexibility and balance (12.3–73.7%; p = 0.000). In CG, all musculoskeletal pain and functional capacity indices remained unchanged. In conclusion, this program may be effectively used to reduce musculoskeletal pain and improve functional capacity.
