Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Changes in range of movement	Changes in range of movement were measured with goniometry and expressed in degrees.	Baseline
Primary	Changes in trigger points	Changes in trigger points were measured following the Travels and Simons protocol in the trapezius, suboccipitalis, scalenes and sternocleidomastoid muscles. The number od trigger points found was registered.	Baseline
Primary	Changes in neck endurance (anterior)	Changes in neck endurance were measured using an endurance test for the anterior neck muscles. The time performing the test was registered.	Baseline
Primary	Changes in neck endurance (posterior)	Changes in neck endurance were measured using an endurance test for the posterior neck muscles. The time performing the test was registered.	Baseline
Primary	Changes in quality of life	Changes in quality of life were measured using the Euroqol 5dimensions which comprises five dimensions: mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort and anxiety/depression. Each dimension has 5 levels: no problems, slight problems, moderate problems, severe problems and extreme problems. It also includes a visual analogue scale to report the health status from 0 to 100.	Baseline
Primary	Changes in quality of life (Visual Analogue Scale)	Changes in quality of life were measured using the Euroqol 5dimensions which comprises a visual analogue scale to report the health status from 0 to 100.	Baseline
Secondary	Changes in kinesiophobia	Changes in kinesiophobia were measured using the Tampa Scale for Kinesiophobia (TSK) which is one of the most frequently employed measures for assessing pain-related fear in pain patients.	Baseline
Secondary	Changes in functionality	Changes in functionality were measured using the World Health Organization Disability Assessment Schedule, WHODAS-2, which provides a global measure of disability and 7 domain-specific scores.	Baseline
