Background: Neck pain is a prevalent musculoskeletal disorder that affects individuals across all age groups, with higher incidence observed in rural communities. Factors such as involvement in manual labour, sustained poor postures, lack of ergonomic awareness, and limited access to occupational health education contribute significantly to its occurrence. Research evidence suggests that ergonomics-based education can effectively minimize work-related musculoskeletal discomfort in various populations. The present study aims to assess the effectiveness of a community-oriented ergonomics education program in reducing neck pain, improving functional ability, and promoting ergonomic awareness and behavioural changes among rural residents.

Methodology: 15 Participants of Village Nawada, Greater Noida, aged between 25-50 years old, working as house helps, labour, self-work, having neck pain and willing to participate were included. A detailed history along with the Neck Disability Index was recorded in a face-to-face sitting. Awareness was given about the causes of neck pain, dos, don’ts, ergonomic management and prevention of the condition.

Result: There was a marked decrease in pain and disability score of the entire population included, accompanied by substantial improvements in ergonomic knowledge and reported posture or behaviour changes. Effect were clinically meaningful, and higher adherence to simple exercise and workplace modifications correlated with larger improvements. No adverse changes were reported. These findings align with prior ergonomics and community education work
