Abstract
This study used the quasi-experimental research design. Using purposive sampling, the respondents consisted of 30 students. The researchers primarily used questionnaires from the studies by Reddy, et al. (2013), Iqbal, et al. (2018), and Rosenfield, et al (2015). Google Forms was the medium used to deliver the questionnaires to the respondents. Data was analyzed through T-test. The study concluded that the implementation of ergonomic remedies can produce changes in the effects of CVS symptoms as manifested among the participants. Although there was no statistical significance found in the results for both frequency and severity of symptoms due to external factors, the ergonomic remedies implemented, with further study, can be a useful therapeutic intervention for individuals experiencing CVS-related symptoms while using digital devices. It is also notable that the onset of manifestation of CVS-related symptoms has significantly increased.
