Registered outcomes6
Each outcome the trial registered, primary first, in ClinicalTrials.gov's words.
| List | Outcome | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Primary | Neck Disability, as Measured by the Neck Disability Index, from Baseline to Two and Four Weeks | Baseline, two weeks, and four weeks | The Neck Disability Index measures cervical pain and disability through 10 questions regarding pain intensity, personal care, lifting, reading, headaches, concentration, work, driving, sleeping, and recreational activity with a minimum score of 0 points (i.e., 0% disability) and a maximum score of 50 points (i.e., 100% disability). These components provide insight into perceived severity, functional independence, lifting tolerance, sustained positional tolerance, cognitive functioning, occupational functioning, sleep, and participation in personally meaningful activities. |
| Secondary | Upper Extremity Disability, as Measured by the Upper Extremity Functional Index-20, from Baseline to Two and Four Weeks | Baseline, two weeks, and four weeks | The Upper Extremity Functional Index-20 was developed through analysis of patient responses on existing questionnaires, namely the Patient Specific Functional Scale. It measures upper extremity functional capacity through a 20-item questionnaire with a maximum score of 80 (i.e., 0% disability) and a minimum score of 0 (i.e., 100% disability). Components include perceived disability related to lifting, reaching, carrying, dressing, household-level activities, and occupational participation related specifically to upper extremity problems |
| Secondary | Pain Over the Last 24 Hours, as Measured by the Numeric Pain Rating Scale, from Baseline to Two and Four Weeks | Baseline, two weeks, and four weeks | The NPRS offers a subjective report on pain and is scaled from 0 (no pain) to 10 (the worst pain imaginable). This measure captures the patients' subjective report of pain intensity over the last 24 hours. |
| Secondary | Cervical Paraspinal Pain Pressure Threshold, as Measured by a Pain-Pressure Algometer, from Baseline to Two and Four Weeks | Baseline, two weeks, and four weeks | A pain-pressure algometer will be used to measure pain-pressure threshold: the minimum amount of pressure used to produce pain. This study will use a Wagner FPX 50 that was calibrated on February 11, 2025, with an accuracy of plus or minus 0.3% of full scale. |
| Secondary | Cervical Ipsilateral Rotation Active Range of Motion, as Measured by Universal Goniometry, from Baseline to Two and Four Weeks | Baseline, two weeks, and four weeks | Ipsilateral cervical spine rotation will be measured via universal goniometry with the patient seated, the axis of rotation at the center of the cranial aspect of the head, the stationary arm aligned with an imaginary line between the two acromions, and the movement arm aligned with the tip of the nose. |
| Secondary | Cervical Radiculopathy Medication Intake, via Paper Format that Categorizes Intake Frequency, from Baseline to Four Weeks | Baseline and four weeks. | This research categorizes medication intake into five options: (1) = not at all, (2) once a week, (3) once every couple of days, (4) once or twice a day, and (5) three or more times a day. Participants will report only the medications that they are taking specific for their cervical radiculopathy symptoms. |
