What this trial studies
This is a cross-sectional observational survey of young adults aged 18–28 conducted at Saglik Bilimleri Universitesi in Istanbul. Participants complete questionnaires measuring sleep quality, neck pain–related disability, and depressive symptoms. Data will be analyzed to identify statistical associations between sleep quality and measures of neck disability and depression. The goal is to determine whether poor sleep co-occurs with higher neck disability and depressive symptoms in this age group.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If confirmed, findings could point to improving sleep as a way to reduce neck pain and depressive symptoms in young adults.
How similar studies have gone: Previous studies have reported links between poor sleep, musculoskeletal pain, and depression, but causal relationships remain unproven.
