- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method The expected outcome was pain reduction by chiropractic treatment and transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation. The parameter used to assess the outcome of the study was pain intensity by the visual analogue scale. As a consequence, we expected cervical function to improve. This variable was evaluated by the neck disability index.;The results obtained in this study showed that chiropractic manipulation and transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation were significantly effective (p <0.05) in pain relief in the studied sample, since a decrease in pain intensity was observed (visual analogue scale). The items of the neck disability index revealed an improvement in cervical functional capacity with a decrease of more than 10 points in the index in the groups treated with chiropractic and electrical stimulation.<br>
