Effect of Brief Daily Resistance Training on Occupational Neck/Shoulder Muscle Activity in Office Workers with Chronic Pain: Randomized Controlled Trial

Table 4

Pain intensity and muscular strength at week 0 and week 10, Mean ± SD.

		Training (𝑁=15)	Control (𝑁=15)
Pain intensity (scale 0–10)	Week 0	3.44±1.40	3.24±1.37
	Week 10	2.04±1.60^a	3.45±1.99
Isometric muscle strength (Nm)	Week 0	41.1±1.7	37.6±3.4
	Week 10	43.2±1.3^b	36.5±3.3

^a𝑃<0.01 significant change from baseline to follow-up in the training group compared with the control group. ^b𝑃<0.05 significant change from baseline to follow-up in the training group compared with the control group.
