- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Change from baseline in Neck Pain Intensity as measured by the Numeric pain rating scale (NRPS) at 3 weeks. 3 weeks The change will be defined on the Minimal Clinically Important Difference in treatment response defined as a decrease of ≥2 point in NRPS (range: 0 - 10 points).
Change from baseline in Neck Pain Intensity as measured by the Numeric pain rating scale (NRPS) at follow-up 3 months. Follow-up 3 months The change will be defined on the Minimal Clinically Important Difference in treatment response defined as a decrease of ≥2 point in NRPS (range: 0 - 10 points).
Change from baseline in Neck Disability as measured by the Neck Disability Index (NDI) at follow-up 3 months. Follow-up 3 months The change will be defined on the Minimal Clinically Important Difference in treatment response defined as a decrease of ≥27% in NDI (range: 0-50 and higher scores are indicative of more disability).
Change from baseline in Neck Pain Intensity as measured by the Numeric pain rating scale (NRPS) at 6 weeks. 6 weeks The change will be defined on the Minimal Clinically Important Difference in treatment response defined as a decrease of ≥2 point in NRPS (range: 0 - 10 points).
Change from baseline in Neck Disability as measured by the Neck Disability Index (NDI) at 3 weeks. 3 weeks The change will be defined on the Minimal Clinically Important Difference in treatment response defined as a decrease of ≥27% in NDI (range: 0-50 and higher scores are indicative of more disability).
Change from baseline in Neck Disability as measured by the Neck Disability Index (NDI) at 6 weeks. 6 weeks The change will be defined on the Minimal Clinically Important Difference in treatment response defined as a decrease of ≥27% in NDI (range: 0-50 and higher scores are indicative of more disability).
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Clinical Important Treatment response in global perceived recovery as measured by Patient's Global Impression of Change Scale at 3 weeks 3 weeks The clinically Important treatment response in global perceived recovery was defined as a value of ≥5 in Patient's Global Impression of Change Scale (range: 1-7 Likert Scale)
Clinical Important Treatment response in global perceived recovery as measured by Patient's Global Impression of Change Scale at 6 weeks 6 weeks The clinically Important treatment response in global perceived recovery was defined as a value of ≥5 in Patient's Global Impression of Change Scale (range: 1-7 Likert Scale)
Clinical Important Treatment response in global perceived recovery as measured by Patient's Global Impression of Change Scale at follow-up 3 months Follow-up 3 months The clinically Important treatment response in global perceived recovery was defined as a value of ≥5 in Patient's Global Impression of Change Scale (range: 1-7 Likert Scale)
