Aim of the study: To study the correlation between neck pain, forward head posture and protracted shoulders in students aged 18-25yrs with chronic neck pain. 36 subjects, male and female were included in this cross s Material and Method: ectional, correlation study as per the inclusion and exclusion criteria. A written informed consent was signed by the subjects in their own language. Neck pain was measured using Numerical Rating Scale (NRS), Forward Head Posture (FHP) was measured using CVA angle by photogrammetry and Protracted Shoulders were measured using a Double Square Instrument. The results were compared and correlated using appropriate statistical tools. There was no signi?cant Results: correlation between CVA and protracted shoulders with severity of neck pain (p=0.54 and p= 1.64 respectively) in students aged 18-25 years. The comparison of CVA values in students with and without pain was signi?cant (p<0.00). The comparison of protracted shoulders in students with and without pain was signi?cant. (p=0.00). The correlation between CVA and protracted shoulders in students with chronic neck pain was found to be signi?cant (p= 0.01) but the correlation between the same in students without chronic neck pain was found to be not signi?cant (p= 0.24). Conclusion: The correlation between neck pain and CVA and neck pain and protracted shoulders was not signi?cant, but there was a signi?cant difference between the CVA and protracted shoulder values of students with and without neck pain suggesting an association, but not a linear relationship.
