Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
Pain rate. Timepoint: Before injection and 2, 4, and 6 hours after the injection. Method of measurement: Visual Analog Scale VAS Pain: This scale represents the pain of patients in general. This scale is plotted as a 10-cm line, and the pain range is between 0 and 10 cm. The zero number does not show any pain, the number 1 to 3 mild pain, the number 4 to 6 average pain and the number 7 to 10 severe pain. The internal stability of this tool is 0.85. Up to 95 /. ROM: The neck flexion rate is measured using a goniometer. In this way, the goniometer axis is placed in the neck of the neck of the neck and on the proximal shoulder. The fixed arm is held along the horizons and movable arm along the longitudinal line of the neck, and the neck flexion range is asked from the person to move the neck forward without moving the head, and the angular changes are recorded.	—
