ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying the prevalence of musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) among Egyptian students in the Faculty of Applied Arts. Essentially, the researchers want to find out how common these types of conditions are, such as pain or discomfort in the muscles and joints, within this specific group of students. To do this, they will use a questionnaire that asks about any musculoskeletal symptoms experienced over the past year and the last week.

To take part in the study, participants need to be Egyptian students aged 20-22 years old, and both males and females can join. However, students who are obese, pregnant, or have certain medical conditions that could affect their musculoskeletal health, like previous injuries or specific illnesses, will not be eligible. The study aims to gather important data that can help improve awareness and guide future health strategies for students experiencing these issues. It is important to note that this trial is not yet recruiting participants.
