Primary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Numeric Pain Rating Scale
Time Frame: 2 months
|
The 11-point numeric scale ranges from '0' representing one pain extreme (e.g.
"no pain") to '10' representing the other pain extreme (e.g.
"pain as bad as you can imagine" or "worst pain imaginable").
|
2 months
|
Neck disability Index
Time Frame: 2 months
|
the overall score range is between 0 and 50, 0 being no to little pain and discomfort while 50 being the severest degree of pain and disability with complete activity limitation.
The score is sometimes expressed in percentage as well.
