Abstract: Non-specific neck pain (NSNP) is a prevalent issue among IT institute students, often leading to activity limitations and affecting academic performance. This cross-sectional study, conducted at IT College, aims to investigate the prevalence of NSNP among IT students, assess its impact on activity limitation, and identify key exacerbating factors using convenient sampling. Ethical clearance will be obtained from the ethical committee of the institute, and subjects will be categorized based on inclusion and exclusion criteria. The nature and purpose of the study will be explained to participants, who will provide written informed consent in a language understood by them. Each subject will be administered the Neck Disability Index (NDI), a validated instrument comprising 10 items related to pain intensity, headache, concentration, sleep, lifting work, driving, recreation, personal care, and reading. Data will be collected from 142 participants over duration of six months, with surveys and assessments used to gather information on NSNP, activity limitations, and relevant demographic factors. Statistical analysis, including regression models and correlation tests, will be conducted to elucidate relationships between NSNP, activity limitation, and exacerbating factors such as age and duration of computer usage. The NDI, with a reliability and validity score of 0.96, is the most widely used and strongly validated instrument for assessing self-rated disability in patients with neck pain. VAS is a gold standard tool for measure the intensity of pain with reliability of 0.7712 and validated by 0.5512. This study adheres to ethical standards, ensuring informed consent and confidentiality of participant data. The findings will provide valuable insights into the prevalence and impact of NSNP among IT institute students, informing the development of ergonomic strategies and educational interventions to enhance student well-being and academic success.
