Subjects collected on purposive bases and used to have signs of neck pain and they were gathered from Tehran Payamenoor University. Subject divided in to 4 groups of corrective exercise, postural re-education, combined and control (each group 21). Pain severity was identified using VAS. Results indicated that neck pain was reduced significantly in post-test phase in both corrective exercise and combined groups (p<0/05). However there was no significant change in the scale of pain in re-education group alone (p=0/10). Hence the scale of pain in control group was increase significantly (p=0/002).  There was no significant difference in the pain variable in pre-test phase among the 4 groups. However there was such a difference in post-test phase among them. Using the follow up test, it was revealed that there was a significant between corrective exercise group with postural re-education group and control group, and between postural re-education group with combined and control group; and between combined and control group(p<0/05). While, there was no significant difference between corrective exercise group and combined group (p>0/05). On the basis of this finding, it can be concluded that 8 weeks corrective exercise and combined protocol (corrective exercise along with postural re-education) could be effective in reducing the scale of pain among computer user women at the age of 22-45. This study emphasis in the effect of combined protocol  (corrective exercise along with postural re-education).  https://sshr.ut.ac.ir/article_53788_56df66cd4cd7b497c873217ce1c65cff.pdf
