This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This trial is testing whether an educational program about ergonomics—proper posture, body mechanics, and workplace setup—can reduce musculoskeletal pain and injuries among dental healthcare workers in Dubai. Dental professionals are at very high risk for neck, shoulder, and lower back pain because of repetitive tasks and awkward positions throughout their day. The study will compare workers who receive the educational program to those who don't, measuring changes in pain, mental health, and physical activity over three months.
Dental healthcare workers in Dubai experience extremely high rates of work-related pain and injuries—up to 90% report symptoms—but there are very few focused prevention programs available. This trial aims to fill that gap by testing whether teaching better ergonomics and workplace habits can actually reduce these preventable injuries and improve workers' overall health.

If you join this study, you'll be randomly assigned to either receive an educational intervention program or to a control group that doesn't receive the program. The intervention group will participate in ergonomics education designed to teach proper posture, body mechanics, and workplace modifications. All participants will complete assessments at the start, after the intervention period, and again three months later—measuring pain levels, mental health, physical activity, and knowledge about work-related injuries. The entire study lasts about three months.
