The Effect of Mobile Holder in Treatment of Patients with Non-Specific Neck Pain.

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if smartphone holder works to treat neck pain in adults. It will also learn about the usability of smartphone holders. The main questions it aims to answer are:

  • Does the smartphone holder decrease pain level and improve function in case of neck pain?
  • How likely will the participants recommend the holder for their friends?

Researchers will compare adding the holder to the commonly used exercises for neck pain to a group which will receive the common exercise only. To see if the holder can modify neck pain.

Participants will:
