Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
Pain Reduction by applying Kinesio Taping on cervical pain. Timepoint: Baseline (Pre-Intervention) 24 hours, 3 days and 1 week post application of Kinesio Taping. Method of measurement: Pain reduction will be assessed using Numerical Rating Scale (NRS): An 11-point scale (0-10) where patients rate their pain intensity. Assessments will be conducted at baseline 24 hours, 3 days and 1 week post application of Kinesio tape.	—

Secondary

Measure	Time frame
Neck functional status in individuals with cervical pain. Timepoint: Baseline (pre-intervention), 24 hours, 3 days and 1 week post application of Kinesio taping. Method of measurement: Functional improvements will be assessed using Oswestry Neck Disability Index (ONDI). The ONDI scale evaluates pain, stiffness, and physical function with higher score indicating worse symptoms. Assessment will be conducted at baseline, 24 hours, 3 days and 1 week post application.	—
