About this trial
This cross-sectional observational study investigates the association between sleep quality, neck pain-related disability, and depression symptoms in young adults aged 18-28. The research reveals that poor sleep quality is significantly associated with higher depression scores and increased neck disability, emphasizing the need for integrative approaches targeting sleep quality to improve mental and musculoskeletal health outcomes.

Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
1
Sleep Quality as Measured by the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI)
The PSQI is a validated self-report instrument that evaluates sleep quality and disturbances over a 1-month period. It includes 7 subscales: subjective sleep quality, sleep latency, sleep duration, habitual sleep efficiency, sleep disturbances, use of sleeping medication, and daytime dysfunction. Each component is scored from 0 (no difficulty) to 3 (severe difficulty), resulting in a global score from 0 to 21.
Time frame
Single assessment at baselineSecondary outcomes
1
Functional Neck Disability as Measured by the Neck Disability Index (NDI)
The NDI is a 10-item questionnaire that assesses how neck pain affects daily activities such as personal care, lifting, reading, concentration, work, driving, sleeping, and recreation. Each item is scored from 0 to 5, for a total possible score of 0 to 50.
Time frame
Single assessment at baseline2
Depression Severity as Measured by the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI)
The BDI is a 21-item self-report questionnaire assessing depressive symptoms in individuals. Each item is rated on a 4-point scale (0 to 3), with a total possible score ranging from 0 to 63. Higher scores indicate more severe depressive symptoms.
