Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Pain - numerical pain rating scale (NPRS)Timepoint: The 11-point numeric scale ranges from ‘0’ representing one pain extreme (e.g., “no pain ?) to ‘10’ representing the other pain extreme (e.g., “pain as bad as you can imagine ? or “worst pain imaginable ?). Pain level will be measured by using the NPRS scale on the day of assessment before intervention (pre-treatment) and in the 4th week after intervention.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Disability -neck disability index (NDI)Timepoint: After 4 weeks
