Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
Neck Pain Disability Index- This is a modification of the Oswestry Low Back Pain Disability Index. It is a patient-completed, condition specific functional status questionnaire which includes 10 items namely pain, lifting, personal care, reading, concentration, work, headaches, driving, sleeping and recreation. It is the most commonly used self-report measure for neck pain. Each of the 10 items is scored from 0-5, with 0 representing no pain or limitation and 5 representing as much pain as possible or maximal limitation.	—

Secondary

Measure	Time frame
Insomnia severity Index- This is a brief instrument designed to assess the severity of both nighttime and daytime components of insomnia. It is available in several languages and is increasingly used as a metric of treatment response in clinical research. The insomnia severity index has 7 questions with a score from 0-4.;Hospital anxiety and depression scale - This is an instrument which was developed to assess depression and anxiety in patients and the general population. Fourteen items are equally divided into subscales: anxiety (HADS-D) and depression (HADS-D). The HADS-A includes items such as tension, worry, fear, panic, difficulties in relaxing and restlessness while the HADS-D includes items measuring anhedonia (not experiencing joy). Responses are rated on a 4-point likert scale and range from 0 to 3;Borg's scale of perceived exertion - This is a tool useful in measuring an indiviual’s effort and exertion, breathlessness and fatigue during physical work.. On the 15-point scale (6-20) the number 6 indicates “no feeling of exertion” while 20 indicates “very, very hard”	—
