结局指标
主要结局
Neck Pain
时间窗: 2 weeks
Neck pain will be measured using Visual Analogue Scale, which has scoring from 0 to 100 mm, and a higher score represents greater pain and a lower score represents less pain.
Neck Disability Index
时间窗: 2 weeks
It consists of 10 items, each scored on a scale of 0-5, with 0 indicating no pain or limitations and 5 indicating the worst imaginable pain or limitation. The total score ranges from 0-50, with higher score indicating greater disability. The score can also be expressed in terms of percentage.
Cervical Range of Motion
时间窗: 2 weeks
Cervical range of motion will be measured using a Goniometer. A higher score represents greater range of motion, and lower score represents decreased or lesser range of morion of cervical spine.
