Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
Change in pain intensity (VAS) and Neck Disability Index (NDI) from baseline to post-intervention in patients with Vishwachi, comparing the efficacy of Siravyadha performed above versus below the elbow joint. The findings may help identify the optimal anatomical site for Siravyadha in the management of Vishwachi.Timepoint: Change in pain intensity (VAS) and functional disability (NDI) from baseline to Day 7, Day 14, and Day 28 following Siravyadha, comparing the efficacy of the procedure performed above versus below the elbow joint in patients with Vishwachi.	—
