Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Visual analogue scale | 4 weeks | Pain level will be assessed for both groups (A&B) before and after treatment program by using (VAS). scores are based on self-reported measures of symptoms that are recorded with a single hand written mark placed at one point along the length of a10 cm line.0 cm means no pain.10cm means maximum pain. |
| Pressure Algometer | 4 weeks | Pain threshold for each woman in both groups (A&B) will be measured before and after the treatment program by using Pressure Algometer . The pressure pain threshold measurements for trapezius will be performed at mid-way between the seventh cervical vertebrae and acromial angle in limited area in the second and third quadrants (Barbero et al.' 2013). |
