| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Visual Analogue Scale | Pain will be measured using Visual Analogue Scale, with greater score signifying greater pain | 5 days |
| Neck Disability Index | Function and neck related disability will be measured using Neck Disability Index, with greater score signifying greater disability and poorer outcome | 5 days |
| Cervical Range of Motion | Cervical Range of Motion will be measured using a universal goniometer, with greater score signifying more favorable outcome | 5 days |
