Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Neck Disability Index
Time Frame: 6 week
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
6 week
NPRS
Time Frame: 6 week
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
