Primary | Pain measured by Visual Analog Scale | The Visual Analog Scale (VAS) is a widely used pain assessment tool in clinical settings. It involves a simple linear scale typically ranging from 0 to 10, where individuals mark a point to indicate their pain intensity level. The left end of the scale represents "no pain," assigned a value of 0, while the right end corresponds to "worst possible pain," denoted as 10. By gauging pain subjectively through this visual representation, the VAS provides a quantifiable measure of pain intensity, enabling healthcare professionals to track changes in pain over time and tailor treatment strategies accordingly. | First day, after first week, after three weeks, after one month | |
Primary | Quality of Life Measured by Neck Disability Index | The Neck Disability Index (NDI) is a widely used tool to assess the impact of neck-related conditions on an individual's quality of life. It consists of a questionnaire that comprises ten items, each addressing different aspects of daily functioning and discomfort related to neck pain. Participants rate their level of difficulty in various activities such as lifting, reading, and sleeping on a scale from 0 to 5. The total score is then calculated and expressed as a percentage, providing valuable insights into the extent of neck-related disability and its effect on overall quality of life. The NDI aids clinicians in evaluating treatment outcomes, designing intervention plans, and monitoring improvements in neck-related functionality. | First day, after first week, after three weeks, after one month | |
Secondary | Range of Motion Measured by Goniometer | A goniometer is a standard instrument used to measure the range of motion (ROM) of the neck joints. It consists of arms and a protractor that allows clinicians to precisely quantify the angles achieved during various neck movements. During assessment, the patient is guided through specific motions like flexion, extension, rotation, and lateral bending, while the goniometer's arms are aligned with the corresponding body landmarks. The resulting measurements provide objective data about the neck's flexibility and mobility, aiding healthcare professionals in diagnosing musculoskeletal conditions, planning treatment strategies, and tracking progress over time. | First day, after first week, after three weeks, after one month |
