Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Pain score on Visual analog scale
The intensity of pain will be reported by the participant on a visual analog scale ranging from 0 to 10. Zero indicates no pain anywhere and 10 indicates the most pain ever experienced
5 weeks
Secondary Outcomes (4)
Pressure Pain Threshold as a measure by pressure algometry
5 weeks
Anxiety on State Anxiety Inventory
5 weeks
Cervical range of motion
5 weeks
Patient satisfaction level
5 weeks
Study Arms (2)
