More time spent using e-devices was associated with increased complaints of neck pain, specifically, children at the age of 7-11 years spending 5-8 hours/day on e-devices. Around 70% had an aching pain that required them to ask for Doctor's. Conclusion: The research sample reported that children's use of electronic devices showed a close association with neck pain and the more the child spends time using an electronic device the greater is the complaint of neck pain. We found that there is a positive correlation between long time smart devices use and neck pain.
