简要总结
A single-blinded, parallel-group randomized controlled trial was conducted at the national institute of rehabilitation medicine, Pakistan, from April to July 2016, on 30 females who were recruited through non-probability convenient sampling technique and randomly allocated to the experimental and control group.
详细描述
The experimental group received STM and neck isometric strengthening exercises, whereas the control group received neck isometrics strengthening exercises only. Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NPRS) was used to assess the pain intensity, while Neck Disability Index (NDI) was used to assess the neck-related disability. The data was collected pre-, during, and post-intervention. Repeated measure analysis of variance (RM ANOVA) was used to analyze within the group changes, while independent t-test was used to analyze the differences between the groups. Data were analyzed by using SPSS version 21.
This study describes the comparative effectiveness of STM when used as adjunct to strengthening exercises and when strengthening exercises are used alone for the management of TNS. According to the results of this study, STM in combination with neck isometric strengthening exercises as well as exercises alone were effective for managing neck pain and functional disability when a comparison was made within the groups.

结局指标
主要结局
Numerical pain rating scale (NPRS)
时间窗: upto 2 weeks
NPRS was used to assess the pain intensity. The 11-point numeric scale ranging from 0-10; 0 means no pain while 10 means worst possible pain.
Neck disability index (NDI)
时间窗: upto 2 weeks.
NDI was used to assess the neck-related disability. Of the 50 score, 0-4 means no disability while 35-50 means severe disability.
Neck range of motion
时间窗: upto 2 weeks .
Goniometer was used to measure the range of motion of neck.
