Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
This study aim to reduce eye strain headache to improve quality of life and student academic performance. This study will enable the students to to work on digital device for a long period of time without any discomfort.
Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
Previous study showed a significant improvement in reduction of the number of headache days (p \< 0.001) and the headache pain level (p \< 0.001) following treatment.
The other intervention of this study is the ocular muscle exercise. Previous study showed that strengthening neck exercises like isometric neck exercise improve muscular strength and it is also delivering long term treatment effect on cervical pain.
This study divide in to two groups. Group A (experimental group) and Group B (control group)Patient in group A will receive ocular muscle exercise which is consist of three exercise like palm exercise, blinking exercise, pencil pushup exercise This group will also receive myofascial release technique on sternocleidomastoid muscle and upper trapezius muscles. Patient in group B will receive ocular muscle exercise and neck isometric exercise.
This study will manage the musculoskeletal and visual aspects of headaches and eye strain by combining myofascial release treatments with eye exercises. This study will contribute to reduce the eye strain headache and improve their quality of life and improve students' academic performance during class room and online learning.
