What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Neck Disability Index
Changes from baseline, The neck disability index is a ten item self-reported questionnaire that assesses pain and associated disability, with a total max score of 50 points
Measured: 6 week
NPRS
Changes from baseline.The Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NPRS) measures the subjective intensity of pain. The NPRS is an eleven-point scale from 0 to 10. "0" = no pain and "10" = most intense pain
Measured: 6 week
