Abstract Background: Office workers are at higher risk for musculoskeletal disorders as they spend long time working in front of computers. Long-term sitting, static postures, repetitive work, computer work, and poor environmental condition lead to the development of MSD.
Aim of the study: Musculoskeletal pain (MSP) can negatively affect subjective sleep quality & cause sleep disturbance due to persistent pain. Poor sleep quality makes MSP worse, resulting in a vicious cycle of sleep disturbance & pain. So, here the need arises to evaluate the frequency of MSD among office workers & their relationship with sleep quality.
Materials and Methods: In this observational study, 60 office workers will be selected according to inclusion criteria. A NORDIC musculoskeletal questionnaire & Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) will be used to collect the data.
Result: Data was analyzed in SPSS Statistics software. The normality of the distribution was examined by Shapiro-wilk test. Spearman’s correlation coefficient was used to examine the correlation between the variables. Conclusion: This study shows office workers have body pain and poor sleep quality but there is negligible correlation between these characteristics.
