| Label | Type | Description | Intervention Names |
|---|---|---|---|
| Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy | Active Comparator | Extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT) is a noninvasive treatment that involves delivery of shock waves to injured soft tissue to reduce pain and promote healing. |
|
| Kinesiotaping | Active Comparator | The Kinesiotaping method is a therapeutic taping technique which alleviates pain. |
|
| Conventional Physical Therapy | Active Comparator | Hotpack, therapeutic ultrasound and tens applications. |
|
| Name | Type | Description | Arm Group Labels | Other Names |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy | Device | Device named 'Elettronica Pagani,Italy' and will be used with radial probe. |
|
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) | patient's self-assessment of pain, in the range of 0 to 10, higher scores mean a worse outcome. | at baseline (before the treatment) |
| Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) | patient's self-assessment of pain, in the range of 0 to 10, higher scores mean a worse outcome | 2 weeks after baseline (at the end of treatment) |
| Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) | patient's self-assessment of pain, in the range of 0 to 10, higher scores mean a worse outcome | 6 weeks after baseline (one month after the end of treatment) |
| Neck Disability Index (NDI) | a self-report questionnaire used to determine how neck pain affects a patient's daily life and to assess the self-rated disability of patients with neck pain. The total score ranges from 0 (no disability) to 50 (total disability). | at baseline (before the treatment) |
| Neck Disability Index (NDI) | a self-report questionnaire used to determine how neck pain affects a patient's daily life and to assess the self-rated disability of patients with neck pain. The total score ranges from 0 (no disability) to 50 (total disability). | 2 weeks after baseline (at the end of treatment) |
