Answer: Modern Era Pain

The text neck syndrome is a repetitive stress injury induced by prolonged neck flexion at different angles and pain sustained from excessive watching or texting on handheld devices for long periods. It should be referred to as “Modern Era Pain” due to its direct association with the modern era’s Gadgets.

The text neck syndrome should be considered as “Pain of the Modern Era” since it is caused by modern-era gadgets such as cell phones, computers, and other smart devices.

The findings of this research reveals that the neck disability of respondents is greater in this study when compared to the findings of other previous studies. This study also revels the prevalence of text neck syndrome is rising day by day in comparison to previous studies. Kumari S, Kumar R, Sharma D. Text neck syndrome: the pain of modern era.
