简要总结
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if a short-term immersive Virtual Reality (VR) intervention, combined with exercises and ergonomic training, can help treat neck pain in computer users. It will also explore how safe and effective this approach is. The main questions it aims to answer are:
Does immersive VR with exercise and ergonomic training reduce neck pain and disability?
Does it improve cervical range of motion, neck muscle endurance, and work productivity?
Researchers will compare the effects before and after the intervention to see how well it works for managing neck pain in computer users.
Participants will:
Use immersive VR exercises and receive ergonomic training over a short period
Attend assessment sessions to measure pain, movement, endurance, and work productivity
Follow specific guidelines for posture and workplace adjustments during the study

结局指标
主要结局
The Numeric Pain Rating Scale
时间窗: 3 weeks
The Numeric Pain Rating Scale asks individuals to rate their pain intensity on a scale from 0 (no pain) to 10 (worst pain imaginable), with higher numbers indicating greater pain severity. The Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NPRS) demonstrates robust psychometric properties across multiple studies, making it a valuable tool for pain assessment in clinical practice. It exhibits excellent test-retest reliability, with coefficients ranging from 0.72 to 0.95 and intraclass correlation coefficients of 0.82 to 0.95 across various patient populations. Additionally, the NPRS is highly acceptable to patients due to its simplicity, can be administered verbally or in writing.
Cervical Range of Motion
时间窗: 3 weeks
Cervical range of motion (CROM) is a clinically critical outcome measure for assessing neck dysfunction, treatment efficacy, and rehabilitation progress. CROM measurments provide objective, quantifiable data to assess neck dysfunction severity, monitor rehabilitation progress, and evaluate treatment effectiveness, enabling clinicians to tailor interventions and predict recovery outcomes in patients with musculoskeletal or neurological conditions.
