Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
1. Pain: Numerical Pain Rating Scale, The NPRS is a segmented numeric version of the pain rating scale in which a respondent selects a whole number (0 10 integers) that best reflects the intensity of his/her pain. The common format is a horizontal bar or line. The NPRS was shown to be highly correlated with the VAS in patients with chronic low back pain: correlations range from 0.86 to 0.95. 2. Disability: Neck Disability Index: It is a valid and reliable tool used for assessing neck function in patients with neck pain. Timepoint: At baseline, 3 weeks, 6 weeks and after 6 months	—
