Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Change of Visual analog scale

    Pain measurement Score from 0-10, 0 means no pain and 10 means maximum pain. Higher scores mean worse outcome.

    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

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • 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

Other Outcomes (1)

  • 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
