Primary | The Number of Participants Whose Self-reported Pain Rating in the Neck and Shoulder Area on the 0-100 Visual Analog Scale (VAS) Decreased by 30% or More From Baseline to One Day After Study Treatment | Participants self-rated the degree of pain experienced in the neck-shoulder region on the 0-100 standardized Visual Analog Scale (VAS) at baseline and one day post-treatment. The VAS is a 100mm long horizontal scale ranging from '0: no pain at all' on one end to '100: worst pain imaginable' on the other end. The participant marked the point along the scale that best showed the pain level they experienced in the neck-shoulder area at each point in time. The higher the number marked, the greater the pain level. | baseline and one day | No |
