Type | Measure | Description | Time frame | Safety issue |
---|---|---|---|---|
Primary | Change in the intensity of pain in the cervical spine after applying the diaphragm intervention plan | The questionnaire of Numerical Pain Scale (NPS) will be the instrument used to access the volunteer's pain, which consists of a numerical scale from 0 to 10, in which 0 is absence of pain and 10 is maximal pain. This questionnaire is carried out at rest and at the end of the available range of lateral inclinations and rotations of the cervical spine, which are the most painful movements in this pathology. | 12 minutes after the intervention | |
Primary | Changes in range of motion after applying the diaphragm targeted protocol | The range of motion of the cervical spine, rotations and lateral inclinations will be measured using the Goniometer Pro© (G-pro©) to compare the pre- and post-intervention samples.
NPS questionnaire data will be collected from the subject's report and recorded in an Excel spreadsheet with the appropriate identification code. The range of motion data will be collected by the assessor and recorded in an Excel spreadsheet with the appropriate identification code. |
12 minutes after the intervention | |
Secondary | Changes in pain level one week after the intervention | One week later, the volunteers will take the Numerical Pain Scale (NPS) questionnaire again to access the volunteers pain, which consists of a numerical scale from 0 to 10, where 0 is no pain and 10 is maximum pain. This questionnaire is carried out at rest and at the end of the available range of lateral inclinations and rotations of the cervical spine, which are the most painful movements in this pathology. | One week after the intervention. | |
Secondary | Changes in range of motion one week later | The range of motion of the rotation and lateral tilt of the cervical spine is measured again using a Goniometer Pro© (G-pro©).
Data from the NPS questionnaire will be collected from the patient report and recorded in an Excel document with the corresponding identification code. The range of motion data is collected by the assessor and recorded in an Excel spreadsheet with the appropriate identification code. |
One week after the intervention. |
