Pain score on Visual analog scale [5 weeks]: The intensity of pain will be reported by the participant on a visual analog scale ranging from 0 to 10. Zero indicates no pain anywhere and 10 indicates the most pain ever experienced

Secondary outcomes

Pressure Pain Threshold as a measure by pressure algometry [5 weeks]
Anxiety on State Anxiety Inventory [5 weeks]
Cervical range of motion [5 weeks]
Patient satisfaction level [5 weeks]
