Primary | Visual Analogue Scale | Visual analogue scale (VAS) very simple and often used method to measure the intensity of pain or the attitude of the individual that may not be measured directly through any test. This scale has high degree of sensitivity i.e a discriminating capacity higher than the other scales. It is the continuous scale for estimation of the extent of pain consist of the straight line shows two extreme ends one is zero pain and the other is extreme pain and in between the words on far extreme 'slight, moderate and severe' too that is experience by the individual. When the patient fills the Visual analogue scale, the patient may mark the level of pain he/she experienced by highlighting the exact level along the line between these two ends. Assessment to be done at baseline, 3rd visit and 9th visit | Three weeks | |
Primary | Goniometer for cervical range of motion | Goniometer is the instrument that measures the available range of the motion of joint. The goniometer is simple 360 degree with fulcrum and two arms. There are many types of goniometer one of them is universal standard goniometer that is consist of one moveable arm and the other is static (immobile) arm. That is either made of plastic or metal tool. It may help to measure the ranges of motions and their lengths. Inter-rater reliability (ICC2,2 = 0.79-0.92). Assessment to be done at baseline, 3rd visit and 9th visit | Three weeks | |
Primary | Algometer | The pressure algometer (PA) is a measuring instrument that may help in the calculation of pain threshold for the involved trigger point. The force recorded is the amount of the pressure that caused pain in the subject called the pressure pain threshold. The inter-examiner reliability if the PA is good or satisfactory with the interclass correlation coefficient (ICC 0.78-0.93) . Assessment will be done at baseline, 3rd and 9th visit. | Three weeks | |
Secondary | Neck Disability Index | Neck disability index: it is the assessment tool used for both research and clinical purposes for the measurement of chronic neck pain. The patient is asked to fill the questionnaire by the researcher or clinician in order to know the level of pain while managing its affects in daily life. Basically, the questionnaire is designed to assess the Activities of Daily livings and Instrumental Activities of daily Livings of patient complaining about chronic neck pain. There are 10 questions includes, pain intensity, personal care, lifting, reading, headaches, concentration, work, driving, sleeping and recreation. Each question is marked on a 0 to 5 rating scale where 0 is considered as 'no pain' and 5 means 'maximum pain'. Assessment to be done at baseline, 3rd and 9th visit. | Three weeks |
