An interventional study of Cervical Sensorimotor Training and Occulomotor Training in Computer Vision Syndrome, sponsored by University of Management and Technology Lahore. Not yet recruiting at 1 site in Pakistan. Open to participants aged 18 Years to 40 Years. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2026-10-23.
Sponsored by University of Management and Technology Lahore · Not applicable, Interventional, and Treatment
This study aims to compare the effectiveness of cervical sensorimotor training and oculomotor training in patients with Computer Vision Syndrome (CVS). It will evaluate their effects on neck pain, cervical proprioception, neck disability, and visual performance. Both interventions aim to improve cervical neuromuscular control and visual function through targeted exercises. The findings will help identify the more effective rehabilitation approach for managing musculoskeletal and visual symptoms associated with CVS.

Age between 18-40 years.
Exclusion Criteria:
Participants will perform Neutral Return, Target Angles, and Movement Sequence exercises using laser-guided head movements, starting with 5 repetitions per movement and progressing according to tolerance. Sessions will last 30-40 minutes, 3 times per week for 8 weeks.
Other: Cervical Sensorimotor Training
Group B will receive saccadic eye movements, smooth pursuit, and gaze stabilization exercises (X1 and X2), starting at 3 minutes per exercise with weekly progression. Sessions will last 30-40 minutes, 3 times per week for 8 weeks
Other: Occulomotor Training
Participants will perform Neutral Return, Target Angles, and Movement Sequence exercises using laser-guided head movements, starting with 5 repetitions per movement and progressing according to tolerance. Sessions will last 30-40 minutes, 3 times per week for 6 weeks.

Numeric Pain Rating Scale
Numeric Rating Scale (NPRS) is most frequently used instruments to measure pain intensity .The 11-point numeric with 0 representing No pain, 1-3 representing Mild Pain (nagging, annoying, interfering little with ADLs), 4-6 representing Moderate Pains (interferes significantly with ADLs), 7-10 representing Sever Pain (disabling, unable to perform ADLs).
Time frame: Baseline and after 6 weeks post treatment
Neck Disability Index
The NDI is a self-reported questionnaire that checks how much neck pain impacts daily life. It covers 10 areas (like pain, self-care, work, and recreation), each scored from 0 to 5. A higher total (out of 50) means more disability: * 0-4: No disability * 5-14: Mild * 15-24: Moderate * 25-34: Severe Above 34: Complete disability The NDI is a reliable way to assess neck-related issues.
Time frame: Baseline and after 6 weeks post treatment
Cervical Joint Position Error Test (JPE)
This test measures neck proprioception (body awareness). A laser pointer on the head tracks how close someone can return to their starting position after moving their head with eyes closed. The closer they get, the better their proprioception. A difference over 4.5° suggests impaired awareness. The JPE test is dependable for checking neck movement sense
Time frame: Baseline and after 6 weeks post treatment
Visual Complaint Index (VCI)
The VCI is a questionnaire that asks about vision problems like eye strain, blurred or double vision, headaches, sensitivity to light, and fatigue-especially from screen use or neck problems. Each symptom is rated for how bad and how often it is. Multiply those scores for each symptom and add them up for a total. Higher totals mean more symptoms. The VCI helps spot issues linked to Computer Vision Syndrome and neck-related visual problems
Time frame: Baseline and after 6 weeks post treatment

Start is estimated for Oct 2026; primary completion for Dec 2026, 2 months later.
Of 30 non-industry interventional studies with no phase under Asthenopia, half reached primary completion within 3 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 2 and three quarters within 9. This study's planned 2 months is below that.
Counting every sponsor, half of 35 studies reached it within 3 months; a quarter within 1 and three quarters within 9.
