Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Pain will be primary outcome variable that will be measure by NPRS. Timepoint: outcome will be measured before the application of intervention and after 6 weeks of intervention application. Method of measurement: pain will be measure using NPRS,for cervical range of motion goniometer will be used,NDI for disability. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Cervical range of motion and function in patient with mechanical neck pain. Timepoint: cervical range of motion and function. Method of measurement: inclinometer and NDI questionnaire will be use to measure cervical range of motion and function. | — |
