Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Pain level test - Explain that 0 means 'no pain', 5 means 'moderate pain', 10 means 'unimaginably severe pain', and measure the pain level at the time of measurement as a questionnaire;Posture Alignment - An angle formed by the line connecting the line connecting the line of the cervical vertebra with the line of the ear, the line joining the cervical vertebra (CVA), the line connecting the cervical vertebra with the ear, To measure the cranial rotation angle (CRA);Muscle thickness and shrinkage - After restraining the cervical vertebra No. 7 and palpating the vertebra vertebrae, measure the resting position and contraction position of the muscle after the marking on the 8th thoracic vertebra. Shrinkage = (Thickness at contraction - Thickness at relaxation / Thickness at relaxation) * 100 Conversion

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Cervical dysfunction index - To quantify the physical discomfort in daily life caused by neck pain, a Korean version questionnaire was used to measure
