Outcomes
Primary Outcome Measures
Visual Analogue Scale
Pain will be measured using Visual Analogue Scale, with greater score signifying greater pain
Neck Disability Index
Function and neck related disability will be measured using Neck Disability Index, with greater score signifying greater disability and poorer outcome
Cervical Range of Motion
Cervical Range of Motion will be measured using a universal goniometer, with greater score signifying more favorable outcome
Secondary Outcome Measures
