结局指标
主要结局
Changes in trigger points
时间窗: Baseline
Changes in trigger points were measured following the Travels and Simons protocol in the trapezius, suboccipitalis, scalenes and sternocleidomastoid muscles. The number od trigger points found was registered.
Changes in neck endurance (anterior)
时间窗: Baseline
Changes in neck endurance were measured using an endurance test for the anterior neck muscles. The time performing the test was registered.
Changes in quality of life (Visual Analogue Scale)
时间窗: Baseline
Changes in quality of life were measured using the Euroqol 5dimensions which comprises a visual analogue scale to report the health status from 0 to 100.
Changes in neck endurance (posterior)
时间窗: Baseline
Changes in neck endurance were measured using an endurance test for the posterior neck muscles. The time performing the test was registered.
Changes in quality of life
时间窗: Baseline
Changes in quality of life were measured using the Euroqol 5dimensions which comprises five dimensions: mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort and anxiety/depression. Each dimension has 5 levels: no problems, slight problems, moderate problems, severe problems and extreme problems. It also includes a visual analogue scale to report the health status from 0 to 100.
Changes in range of movement
时间窗: Baseline
Changes in range of movement were measured with goniometry and expressed in degrees.
次要结局
- Changes in kinesiophobia(Baseline)
- Changes in functionality(Baseline)
