Outcome

Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Primary Pain Visual analog scale. A 100mm VAS, ranging from 0mm (no pain) to 100mm (worst imaginable pain). 1 week
Primary Postneedling soreness Visual analog scale. A 100mm VAS, ranging from 0mm (no pain) to 100mm (worst imaginable pain). 1 week
Secondary Pressure pain threshold Three consecutive trials of pressure pain threshold on the active trigger point at a rate of 1 kg/sec at intervals of 30 seconds were conducted. 1 week
Secondary Cervical range of motion The subjects sat in a chair and a CROM goniometer was placed over the head. They were asked to perform active neck movements to the fullest extent of their mobility. Each movement was recorded three times and the average value was calculated. 1 week
Secondary Neck disability Neck Disability Index questionnarie was completed. 1 week
Secondary Pain in cervical range of motion Pain in a numerical pain rating scale during all cervical movements was recorded. 1 week
Secondary Psychological factors State Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI-T) Pre-intervention
Secondary Psychological factors Beck Depression Inventory (BDI-II) Pre-intervention
Secondary Psychological factors Tampa Scale for Kinesiophobia Pre-intervention
Secondary Psychological factors Pain Catastrophizing Scale Pre-intervention
