Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Change of Visual analog scale

Pain measurement Score from 0-10, 0 means no pain and 10 means maximum pain. Higher scores mean worse outcome.

Time frame: Change from baseline Visual analog scale at immediately after intervention, Change from Baseline visual analog scale at 1 week and Change from baseline Visual analog scale at 4 weeks

Secondary Outcomes

Neck disability index

Disability secondary to neck pain Score from 0-50, 0 means no disability and 50 means complete disability. Higher scores mean worse outcome.

Time frame: Change from baseline Neck disability index at immediately after intervention, Change from Baseline Neck disability index at 1 week and Change from baseline Neck disability index at 4 weeks
