A neck ache can be defined as pain in the neck region that can last for 1 day without being referred to the upper extremity. A neck ache is a common complaint but can also occur in association with pain in the head and shoulder region. It?s a most common problem affecting the whole world. A neck muscle spasm occurs by straightening the cervical spine. Straightening of the cervical spine can be seen on X-ray.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Temporomandibular Joint Pain. Timepoint: Numeric Pain Rating Scale. Method of measurement: In a Numerical Rating Scale (NRS), patients are asked to circle the number between 0 and 10, 0 and 20, or 0 and 100 that fits best to their pain intensity. Zero usually represents 'no pain at all' whereas the upper limit represents 'the worst pain ever possible'.;Neck Pain. Timepoint: Northwick Park neck Questionnaire. Method of measurement: It consists of 9 items including quality of life (QOL), duration of pain, sleep, social activities, watching TV, and carrying. 100 is the greatest score. The higher the value higher damage will be present in patients.;Forward Head Posture. Timepoint: Web Plot Digitizer. Method of measurement: Instead of directly measuring angles, Web Plot Digitizer software is primarily intended for extracting data points from 2D plots and graphs. By taking the following actions, you can still use the software to indirectly determine the craniovertebral angle. Obtain a picture or diagram that illustrates the craniovertebral angle you wish to measure. This can be a picture, a diagram, or any other visual that shows the angle clearly. Use your web browser to launch the Web Plot Digitizer program. Make sure you are prepared to upload an appropriate image file of the craniovertebral angle. By selecting the "Upload Image" or comparable option, you can upload an image to the Web Plot Digitizer program. By choosing the points that make up the angle after setting the reference lines, you can manually digitize the craniovertebral angle. | — |
