| Abstract: | Prevalence of neurological consequences of text neck syndrome and its association with smartphone use among healthcare students in career point university Abstract Background: Text neck syndrome is an emerging musculoskeletal and neurological disorder associated with prolonged smartphone use and sustained neck flexion. Its prevalence is rising among university students due to increased screen exposure and poor ergonomic practices. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among 80 healthcare students aged 17–26 years at Career Point University, Kota, Rajasthan. Participants with smartphone usage exceeding 7 hours per day were included. Data were collected using validated tools, including the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), Numerical Rating Scale (NRS), and Neck Disability Index (NDI). Random sampling was employed, and statistical analysis was performed to determine prevalence and associated neurological manifestations. Results: The overall prevalence of text neck syndrome was 53%. Among affected individuals, 36% demonstrated mild disability, 16% moderate disability, and 1% severe disability based on NDI scores. Frequently reported neurological symptoms included neck pain, stiffness, upper limb numbness, radiating pain, and reduced cervical range of motion. Prolonged smartphone use and poor posture showed a significant association with increased pain intensity and disability levels. Conclusion: A high prevalence of text neck syndrome was observed among healthcare students, with notable neurological consequences. Implementation of ergonomic interventions and awareness programs is recommended to mitigate long-term musculoskeletal and neurological complications. |
