Smartphone Addiction, Temporomandibular Joint Dysfunction Clinical Trial
Official title:
Smartphone Addiction and Temporomandibular Joint Dysfunction in Individuals With Nonspecific Neck Pain
It has been reported that excessive use of smartphones increases the stress on the cervical spine, and changes in cervical curvature and pain in the muscles around the neck are associated with the increase in stress. Studies have reported that smartphone users with addictions have neck pain (68%), upper back pain (62%), right shoulder pain (52%), left shoulder pain (46%), and right hand pain (46%). As a result of our study, the frequency of smartphone addiction and temporomandibular joint dysfunction and related factors in individuals with nonspecific neck pain were examined and the results we obtained will contribute to the literature.
