Prevalence of Neck Pain in Computer Workers in Surat City: A Cross-sectional Study

Author: Sneha Hiren Bhalala

Category: Healthcare

Abstract:Aim: The purpose of our study is to determine the prevalence of neck pain in computer workers.
Settings and Design: Cross-sectional study amongst neck pain in computer workers of 20-50 year old.
Methods and Material: A cross-sectional study was done. 100computer worker in that 81 male and 19 female, they should be working on computer for at least 3 hours / day of different company in Surat were surveyed after written informed consent with a semi-structured questionnaire including Neck Disability Index.

INTRODUCTION -

Neck pain is a common health problem in the general population and especially among computer workers. Most people experience some degree of neck pain in their lifetime.1,2 It was also described in the 18th century, along with other work related upper limb disorders by Bernardini Ramazzini- an Italian physician and the father of occupational medicine - when he said the diseases : “... arise from three causes; firstly, constant sitting, secondly the perpetual motion of the hand in the same manner, and thirdly the attention and the application of the mind...”3 Musculoskeletal disorders of the neck and shoulder in office workers are likely influenced by prolonged static working  positions,4   leading  to  continuous  activity  of  low-threshold  motor  units,reduced local blood flow, accumulation of Ca2+, and other homeostatic changes in theactive muscle fibers.5,6 Thus, pain symptoms appear to worsen during prolonged static muscle activity and repetitive job tasks.7,8 The associated costs are enormous, as white-collar workers with neck/shoulder pain have a 35% increased risk of long-term sickness absence.9

Structures of neck:

There are seven vertebrae that are the bony building blocks of the spine in the neck that surround the spinal cord and canal. Between these vertebrae are discs, and nearby pass the nerves of the neck. Within the neck, structures include the neck muscles, veins, arteries, lymph glands, thyroid gland, parathyroid gland, esophagus, larynx and trachea. Diseases or conditions that affect any of these tissues of the neck can lead to neck pain.10

The cervical spine has a “C” shaped curve which opens in the back. In the healthy cervical spine displaying a moderate degree of lordosis, a good share of weight bearing is on the zygoapophyses because the line of cumulative loading of

Compressive forces are posterior to the centre of the vertebral bodies. The more the cervical curve flattens, the more superimposed weight is shifted to the disc.10, 11

An unpleasant sensation that can range from mild, localized discomfort to agony. Pain has both physical and emotional components. The physical part of pain results from nerve stimulation. Pain is mediated by specific nerve fibers that carry the pain impulses to the brain where their conscious appreciation may be modified by many factors. The word "pain" comes from the Latin "poena". Neck is the spinal structure that supports the head. It is least protected structure compared to the rest of the spine. Due to its anatomical structure the neck is highly vulnerable to injury and from conditions that produce pain and restriction of motion. Forward head posture is one of the contributing factors for the postural neck pain which is habitually assumed by individual working on the computers.12 Having your head rest too far forward can cause the ‘C’ shaped curve in your neck to decrease, and keeping your head too far back can accentuate it. These positions can increase the amount of stress placed on the muscles, ligaments, facets and discs in and around your neck. This undue stress can cause neck pain.11

         Sustained passive loading of such innervated tissue in functional sitting

postures may provoke a local tissue reaction possibly causing pain. In computer professionals working is related to increasing hours of computer use and incomplete work rest cycle.13,14,15 Musculoskeletal discomfort in neck, shoulder and upper extremity area in professional working on video display hours of computer use and incomplete work rest cycle, i.e. increased frequency of those using input device such mouse or key board.15,16 By ergonomics interventions such as supporting the forearm on table-top, a reduction of postural load discomfort such as neck pain been achieved17,18,19 Work organizational factors such as increasing work pressure or hurry and lack of job security or decision making opportunities as well as problem in work atmosphere may contribute to an increased occurrence of work related musculoskeletal complains.20

AIMS AND OBJECTIVES

             Aim: - To estimate the prevalence of neck pain in computer workers.

Objective: - To study of consequences of neck pain in terms of disability in daily life.

MATERIAL AND METHODOLOGY

  1. Statement of study:

The study of prevalence of neck pain in computer worker between age group of 20 to 50 years.

  1. Significance of study:

This study will help to know about the prevalence of neck pain in computer operators in Surat city

  1. Study design:

Study design:  Cross-sectional study

Sampling method: Convenient sampling method

  1. Sample size: 100 subjects

  2. Sample source: The location for the research was selected as Surat city.

    • Enwisen Consulting LLP, Adajan, Surat.

                        Pranesh Agrawal & Co. Chartered Accountants, Chhapania Sheri, Surat.

    • FINlogic technologies India Pvt. Limited, Udhna, Surat

  1. Outcome Measure:

Neck Disability Index

  1. Inclusion Criteria:

    • Subjects willing to participate.

    • Neck pain people of age group 20 to 50 years were included.

    • Persons using computer more than 3 hours a day.

    • Both males and females were included in this study.

  1. Exclusion Criteria

    • Any  specific  medical  condition  affecting  the  cervical  spine.  (such  as ankylosing spondylitis, tumors, infection, and rheumatoid arthritis)

    • Subjects below and above age group 20 to 50 years were excluded.

Material:

Pen, Pencil, Paper, Questionnaire form

Questionnaire used:-

            Neck Disability Index (NDI)

NDI questionnaire is designed to provide information of how neck pain affects a person’s ability to manage in everyday life. The questionnaire has 10 components and each component has scoring 0 to 5. Thus total score achievable is 50. Greater score indicates greater disability.

Scores (out of 50) 0-4  No Disability

5-14 Mild Disability

15-24 Moderate Disability

25-34  Sever Disability

>35 Complete Disability

Test–retest reliability for NDI is found to be good, r=0.89. Interclass correlation (ICC) =0.68, 95% CI=0.54-0.90. Cronbach’s alpha is 0.80. Specificity and sensitivity are 59% and 52% respectively.28

Procedure for data collection:-

One hundred computer workers (19 females and 81 males) whose age ranged from 20 to 50 years participated in the study. Participation in the study was voluntary and informed consent was taken prior to participation. They were selected by convenient sampling. Workers were explained about this study and about the questionnaires that were to be filled prior to the participation. Questionnaires, Neck Disability Index was then handed out amongst the workers in the company and collected after being filled.
