Developmental phase



Assessment

Primary outcomes

Immediate effect of a single Kanshoho session performed on the study day.
Assessment time-points: immediately before the intervention (0 min) and immediately after completion (within 20 min).
Assessment variable: pain intensity measured with a 0-100 mm Visual Analog Scale (VAS).
Primary outcome: change in VAS score (post minus pre).

Key secondary outcomes

1. Change in cervical range of motion
Variable: sum of flexion, extension, right/left rotation, and right/left lateral flexion angles
Assessment time-points: immediately before the intervention (0 min) and immediately after completion (within 20 min); outcome = post minus pre difference

2. Ultrasonographic changes of soft tissue
Variable: immediate changes in echogenicity and morphology at the painful site on B-mode ultrasound
Assessment time-points: immediately before and immediately after the intervention using the same probe position

3. Procedure time
Variable: total duration (minutes) from the start of Kanshoho to pain disappearance or 20 minutes, whichever occurs first
Assessment time-points: recorded once on the intervention day
