Abstract

This comprehensive research explores the intricate relationship between hypertension and nonspecific neck pain among sedentary individuals, aiming to elucidate the association and its implications for clinical practice and public health initiatives. Through meticulous analysis of data collected from a diverse cohort, encompassing demographic variables, health history, lifestyle factors, and outcome measures, this study reveals compelling insights into the multifaceted interplay between these prevalent health conditions. Bivariate and multivariate analyses were conducted to unravel the association between hypertension and neck pain intensity. The findings unveil a significant association, with participants diagnosed with hypertension reporting notably higher levels of neck pain intensity compared to those without hypertension. Furthermore, after controlling for covariates such as age, hypertension remained independently associated with neck pain intensity, emphasizing its role as a potential risk factor for heightened neck pain symptoms among sedentary individuals. The investigation also identified positive correlations between neck pain intensity and the duration of hypertension, as well as the duration of neck pain. These findings underscore the progressive nature of these conditions, suggesting that longer disease durations may exacerbate neck pain symptoms. The implications of this research extend beyond theoretical paradigms, permeating into practical applications in healthcare settings and public health policies. By recognizing hypertension as a modifiable risk factor for exacerbating neck pain symptoms, healthcare providers can implement early screening protocols and tailored interventions to alleviate the burden of neck pain among affected individuals. Multidisciplinary approaches, encompassing physical therapy, stress management techniques, and lifestyle modifications, hold promise in ameliorating the impact of neck pain among hypertensive individuals. In conclusion, this research serves as a pivotal milestone in advancing our understanding of the hypertension-neck pain nexus, offering valuable insights and directions for future inquiry. By fostering interdisciplinary collaborations and proactive health management strategies, we can endeavour towards a holistic approach to improving the well-being of individuals affected by hypertension and neck pain.
