Primary |
Change from baseline Sport Concussion Assessment Tool v5 (SCAT-5) symptom score, immediately after intervention |
Symptom numeric rating tool validated for concussion patients, 22 listed symptoms that are either present (scored 1) or absent (scored 0), minimum = 0 (good outcome), maximum = 22 (poor outcome) |
within 10 minutes of intervention |
|
Primary |
Change from baseline Sport Concussion Assessment Tool v5 (SCAT-5) symptom score, 12-24 hours after intervention |
Symptom numeric rating tool validated for concussion patients, 22 listed symptoms that are either present (scored 1) or absent (scored 0), minimum = 0 (good outcome), maximum = 22 (poor outcome) |
12-24 hours after intervention |
|
Primary |
Change from baseline Sport Concussion Assessment Tool v5 (SCAT-5) symptom severity, immediately after intervention |
Symptom numeric rating tool validated for concussion patients, 22 listed symptoms that are scored from 0 (absent) to 6 (worst imaginable), minimum = 0 (good outcome), maximum = 132 (poor outcome) |
within 10 minutes of intervention |

Primary |
Change from baseline Sport Concussion Assessment Tool v5 (SCAT-5) symptom severity, 12-24 hours after intervention |
Symptom numeric rating tool validated for concussion patients, 22 listed symptoms that are scored from 0 (absent) to 6 (worst imaginable), minimum = 0 (good outcome), maximum = 132 (poor outcome) |
12-24 hours after intervention |
|
Primary |
Change in baseline Cervical Range of Motion, immediately after intervention |
Cervical Active Range in flexion, extension, bilateral side flexion, bilateral rotation, measured in degrees using a CROM (Cervical Range of Motion) tool that measures multidirectional movement, each of the 6 ranges will be reported on their own in degrees and the 6 will also be added together for a total range measurement in degrees |
within 10 minutes of intervention |
|
Primary |
Change in baseline pain score with Cervical Range of Motion, immediately after intervention |
Pain Rating Scale at end of range flexion, extension, bilateral side flexion, bilateral rotation (as measured in Outcome 5), scored 0 (no pain) - 10 (worst pain imaginable), 0 = best outcome, 10 = worst outcome, total score for all 6 movements will be computed out of 60 (0=best, 60=worst) |
within 10 minutes of intervention |

Primary |
Change in baseline pain score with Cervical Range of Motion, 12-24 hours after intervention |
Pain Rating Scale at end of range flexion, extension, bilateral side flexion, bilateral rotation (as measured in Outcome 5), scored 0 (no pain) - 10 (worst pain imaginable), 0 = best outcome, 10 = worst outcome, total score for all 6 movements will be computed out of 60 (0=best, 60=worst) |
12-24 hours after intervention |
|
Primary |
Change in baseline of Pain Pressure Threshold (the smallest amount of pressure that evokes pain) as measured using a pressure algometer, immediately after baseline |
The pressure algometer is applied to the test muscle (in this case bilateral upper fibres trapezius, levator scapulae, suboccipital group and cervical multifidus at the base of the neck) and pressure is applied incrementally until pain is reported, the outcome is the least amount of pressure (in kilograms) applied over a muscle that evokes pain (lowest = 0 kg, higher values are better outcomes) |
