| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Cervical Pain Intensity | For the Assesment of cervical pain intensity the Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NPRS) was used. | Change between baseline (immediately before intervention) and post intervention (immediately after intervention), after 1month and 3 months |
| Neck Disability Index | For the assesment of perceived neck disability the neck disability index was used. | Change between baseline (immediately before intervention) and post intervention (immediately after intervention), after 1month and 3 months |
| Pressure Pain Threshold | For the assesment of pressure pain threshold of active trigger points a digital algometer was used | Change between baseline (immediately before intervention) and post intervention (immediately after intervention), after 1month and 3 months |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Cervical range of movement | For the assesment of cervical range of movement the universal goniometer was used | Change between baseline (immediately before intervention) and post intervention (immediately after intervention), after 1month and 3 months |
| Cervical muscles Electromyography |

| Stretch | Other | 3 treatments of stretch applied to all cervical muscles that present active trigger points in patient's cervical muscles. |

For the assesment of cervical muscles electromyographic activity Trigno Avanti sensor was used. |
