Registered outcomes 3
Each outcome the trial registered, primary first, in ClinicalTrials.gov's words.
| List | Outcome | Time frame | Description | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Primary | Visual Analog Scale (VAS) | Baseline, Week 6, and Week 12 | Neck pain intensity will be assessed using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS), a 10-cm scale ranging from 0 (no pain) to 10 (worst imaginable pain). Higher scores indicate greater pain intensity. Changes in VAS scores from baseline to weeks 6 and 12 will be evaluated to compare the effects of instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization (IASTM), kinesiology taping, and control interventions. The primary comparison will be the change from baseline to week 12. | ClinicalTrials.gov |
| Secondary | Neck Disability Index (NDI) | Baseline, Week 6, and Week 12 | Neck-related disability will be assessed using the Neck Disability Index (NDI), a 10-item questionnaire evaluating the impact of neck pain on daily activities. Each item is scored from 0 to 5, resulting in a total score ranging from 0 to 50. Higher scores indicate greater disability. Changes in NDI scores from baseline to weeks 6 and 12 will be evaluated to compare functional improvements among the three intervention groups. | ClinicalTrials.gov |
| Secondary | Cervical Range of Motion (ROM) | Baseline, Week 6, and Week 12 | Active cervical range of motion will be measured in degrees using a universal goniometer. Cervical flexion, extension, right and left lateral flexion, and right and left rotation will be assessed. Changes in cervical mobility from baseline to weeks 6 and 12 will be evaluated to compare improvements among the three intervention groups. Greater range of motion generally indicates improved cervical mobility. Time Frame: | ClinicalTrials.gov |
