Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

• Neck pain

  The Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NPRS) (an outcome measure) that is a uni dimensional measure of pain intensity in adults, including those with chronic pain due to rheumatic diseases. Validity 0.86 to 0.95

  4th day

• Neck Disability Index

  The most used neck disability questionnaires are the Neck Pain and Disability scale (NPAD) and the Neck Disability Index (NDI) The Neck Pain and Disability scale (NPAD) is a composite index including 20 items which measure the intensity of neck pain and related disability,reliability between 0,50 and 0,98
