This database comprises information from a cross-sectional study conducted on a representative sample of the Peruvian population. The primary objective of this study was to estimate the prevalence of neck pain and assess specific associated factors, particularly the extended use of electronic device screens. Data was collected through self-reports from study participants, focusing on instances of neck pain both before and after the pandemic. Our hypothesis was that prevalence of neck chronic pain increase after pandemic period and that one possible explanation was the increase in the intensity of staring at electronic devices´screens.
