| Autogenic Inhibition Muscle Energy Technique | Other | AI MET was applied for upper trapezius 5 times for each side, similarly for levator scapulae it was applied 5 times for each side. AI MET was applied for posterior, middle and anterior fibres of scalene muscle. For sternocleidomastoid muscle it was applied for at least twice for each side. 8 sessions were conducted for 6 weeks, with 3 sessions scheduled every week. |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |

| Numeric Pain Rating Scale | Numeric Pain Rating Scale is utilized to evaluate pain. It consists of 11 points, having an overall score ranging from 0 and 10, where: 0 represents no pain, 1 - 3 represents mild pain, 4 - 6 represents moderate pain and 7 - 10 represents the most severe pain. | From enrollment to the end of treatment at 6 weeks |
| Neck Disability Index | Neck Disability Index is a questionnaire that has 10-questions for determining cervical pain and functional disability linked with the activities of daily living. It consists of questions on pain intensity, personal care, lifting, reading, headaches, concentration, work, driving, sleeping and recreation. Scores in each item is described in 6 stages, from 0 to 5 points. The total of 0-4 points indicate no disability, 5-14 points indicate mild disability, 15-24 points indicate moderate disability, 25-34 points indicate severe disability and 35-50 points indicate complete disability | From enrollment to the end of treatment at 6 weeks |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| ROM Cervical Spine (Flexion) | Changes in cervical spine flexion ROM at baseline and 6th week of intervention was measured using goniometer. | From enrollment to the end of treatment at 6 weeks |
| ROM Cervical Spine (Extension) |
