Abstract
Introduction: Neck pain is a common disorder. Poor posture might result in muscular imbalance that causes a faulty relationship among various body parts. Forward head posture is one of the most common cervical abnormalities that predispose individuals toward pathological conditions, such as headache, neck pain, and temporomandibular disorders. Aim: The aim of the study was to find the relationship between CV angle and neck pain. Materials and method: 50 patients were evaluated and included in the study. They were evaluated for pain using Numerical Pain Rating Scale (NPRS) and the forward head posture was assessed by measuring CV angle. The total duration of the study was 6 months. Analysis was done using SPSS Version 20. Results: Spearman's correlation test was used to find correlation between CV angle and neck pain and the r value was found to be -0.731 with the level of significance 0.01. Conclusion: A moderate to good negative correlation was found between CV angle and neck pain.
