Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Cervical Pain. Timepoint: Baseline reading before intervention, post reading was taken after 2 weeks and Follow up reading was measured 4 weeks after intervention. Method of measurement: Cervical pain of each individual was measured by using Visual analogue scale (VAS).;Cervical range of motion - Side bending and Lateral rotation. Timepoint: Baseline reading before intervention, post reading was taken after 2 weeks and Follow up reading was measured 4 weeks after intervention. Method of measurement: Cervical range of motion of side bending and rotation was measured using a Goniometer. | — |
