PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline, post-treatment and 3-month follow-up

Population: 20 participants randomized in each group. 3 dropped out of study before post-treatment and follow-up assessments.

Average pain intensity in the past week marked on a paper-pencil Visual Analog Scale (Min = 0 {no pain} to Max = 10 {pain as bad as it can be}). Lower scores mean better outcomes.
