An initial ergonomic assessment of all the participants' workstation will be done using the Computer Workstation Self-Assessment Checklist to identify potential risk factors for neck pain and dysfunction. Numeric pain rating values, Neck muscle endurance, cervical range of motion, neck disability index and work productivity score will be measured and recorded for each participant.

This group will receive therapeutic exercises including stretching and active exercises. Recommendations for adjustments to the chair, desk, and equipment layout would also be given to optimize comfort and efficiency and reduce neck pain due to improper workstation design. The session will last for 15 minutes. Follow up 2 days in a week over the 3-week period will be done to make necessary adjustments, and reinforce the ergonomic principles. All outcome measure will be attained again at the end of the 3 week period.

The participants of this group will be given all the trainings as Group A along with the addition of immersive VR. This task will be delivered through the Human XR device Oculus Quest 3. The VR module will involve participants to engage in targeted cervical movements (flexion, extension, rotation) to attain therapeutic objectives through visual cues. Group B will be given VR therapy for an additional 20 minutes. Follow up 2 days in a week over the 3-week period will be done for the participant to use the immersive VR mode. All outcome measure will be attained again at the end of the 3 week period.

Therapeutic exercises including stretching and active exercises for neck and shoulder.

The Numeric Pain Rating Scale asks individuals to rate their pain intensity on a scale from 0 (no pain) to 10 (worst pain imaginable), with higher numbers indicating greater pain severity. The Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NPRS) demonstrates robust psychometric properties across multiple studies, making it a valuable tool for pain assessment in clinical practice. It exhibits excellent test-retest reliability, with coefficients ranging from 0.72 to 0.95 and intraclass correlation coefficients of 0.82 to 0.95 across various patient populations. Additionally, the NPRS is highly acceptable to patients due to its simplicity, can be administered verbally or in writing.

Cervical range of motion (CROM) is a clinically critical outcome measure for assessing neck dysfunction, treatment efficacy, and rehabilitation progress. CROM measurments provide objective, quantifiable data to assess neck dysfunction severity, monitor rehabilitation progress, and evaluate treatment effectiveness, enabling clinicians to tailor interventions and predict recovery outcomes in patients with musculoskeletal or neurological conditions.

The Neck Disability Index (NDI) is a validated, patient-reported outcome measure assessing neck pain-related disability across 10 domains, including daily activities, work, and sleep. It is scored from 0 (no disability) to 50 (complete disability). Widely used in clinical and research settings, it effectively tracks rehabilitation progress and treatment efficacy in conditions like neck pain and neck dysfunction.
