Type | Measure | Description | Time frame | Safety issue |
---|---|---|---|---|
Primary | Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NPRS) | Changes from Baseline Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NRS-11), which is an eleven-point scale in which the end points are the extremes of no pain at all (score of 0) and the worst pain the patient has ever experienced (score of 10). NPRS-11 pain severity score of "4" is frequently given special significance in this regard, suggesting it as a potential threshold value for pain severity in clinical practice.
This scale has high reliability (0.95-0.96). |

Primary | NECK DISABILITY INDEX (NDI) | Changes from Baseline, In 1991, Howard Vernon developed the Neck Disability Index (NDI).The Neck Disability Index (NDI) was the first tool to measure self-reported disability in patients with neck pain. It is used extensively in literature and its psychometric properties have been well established. It has been translated and cross-culturally adapted to many languages. The index has 10 neck-related functional activities scored on a 0-5 scale for each item and a total raw score of 50. The higher the score, the greater the disability. | 4th week | |
Primary | PHOTOGRAMMETRY | Changes from Baseline, The CVA was assessed using a digital camera. The camera was placed 1.5 m away from the participant's right side to take a lateral photographic view of the participant's head and neck in a seated position. The CVA is the angle between the horizontal line passing the 7th Cervical vertebra (C7) and then the line extending from C7 to the tragus of the ear. The resulting FHP was determined using Image J software. A CVA of less than 50ยบ was defined as FHP. 'Image J', an analysis software with high reliability and validity. | 4th week | |
Primary | UNIVERSAL GONIOMETER (ROM Cervical Spine Flexion) | Changes from Baseline ROM range of motion of cervical spine flexion was taken with help of goniometer. Goniometry, the measurement of joint angles, traditionally performed with a universal goniometer (UG), is a commonly utilized assessment tool in monitoring problems of the musculoskeletal system, as well as the progression of rehabilitation interventions. | 4th week | |
Primary | UNIVERSAL GONIOMETER (ROM Cervical Spine Extension) | Changes from Baseline ROM range of motion of cervical spine flexion was taken with help of goniometer. Goniometry, the measurement of joint angles, traditionally performed with a universal goniometer (UG), is a commonly utilized assessment tool in monitoring problems of the musculoskeletal system, as well as the progression of rehabilitation interventions. | 4th week | |
Primary | UNIVERSAL GONIOMETER (ROM Cervical Spine rotation) | Changes from Baseline ROM range of motion of cervical spine flexion was taken with help of goniometer. Goniometry, the measurement of joint angles, traditionally performed with a universal goniometer (UG), is a commonly utilized assessment tool in monitoring problems of the musculoskeletal system, as well as the progression of rehabilitation interventions. | 4th week |
