Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Change of Visual analog scale | Change from baseline Visual analog scale at immediately after intervention, Change from Baseline visual analog scale at 1 week and Change from baseline Visual analog scale at 4 weeks | Pain measurement Score from 0-10, 0 means no pain and 10 means maximum pain. Higher scores mean worse outcome. |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Neck disability index | Change from baseline Neck disability index at immediately after intervention, Change from Baseline Neck disability index at 1 week and Change from baseline Neck disability index at 4 weeks | Disability secondary to neck pain Score from 0-50, 0 means no disability and 50 means complete disability. Higher scores mean worse outcome. |
Other
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Pain pressure threshold | Change from baseline Pain pressure threshold at immediately after intervention, Change from Baseline Pain pressure threshold at 1 week and Change from baseline Pain pressure threshold at 4 weeks | The minimum pressure that induces pain in trigger point. Higher scores mean better outcome. |
