However, no conclusive therapeutic evidence has been found for various physical therapy interventions. In this study, the investigators would like to investigate the effects of physical therapy interventions on ARCR patients.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
physical therapy interventionBehavioural
physical therapy interventions include thermal therapy, electrical therapy, manual therapy, and therapeutic exercise.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| physical therapy intervention | Experimental | Not described Receives: Behavioral: physical therapy intervention |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Pain intensity
A numeric pain rating scale (NPRS) consisting of 11 points in total from 0 points (no pain) to 10 points (the most severe pain imaginable) is used. The lower the score, the less the pain.
Measured: Change from baseline pain intensity at 12 weeks
